Beotch or Beyotch?
MC
Beotch: 8,930
Beyotch: 4,530
But which is the *correct* spelling?
Kevin Stone [www.brainbashers.com]
How can one have a correct spelling of a made up word? Unless of course, you
made the word up. To this word, I think, we'll never find the original
author.
Both are therefore equally correct, and if the word is to enter the language
officially, then I would imagine that the most popular spelling will be
used.

Don't forget "beoch", "beyoch", "beeoch", "beeotch", "beeyoch", "beeyotch",
"bayoch", "bayotch", "bioch" and "biotch".... There's plenty of examples to
look at if you do searches on Google. Go compare.
I'd** go for the one which isn't likely to be confused with something else
(like beach, betcha, beyblades, Beyonce or biotech) and makes the
pronunciation clear. Beeotch?
**Well, I wouldn't, but let's pretend.

"Bitch." "Beotch" and "beyotch" represent the pronunciation of
"bitch" by many American Negroes. "Shee mah beotch, bro!"

Don't overlook the 'atch form.

No, it isn't. Don't they let college students have dictionaries
these days?

That always looks like "biotech" to me.

Why?
Brian Rodenborn

Infelicitous wording, I suppose; the original poster thought I was
correcting him. Yours looks much more wisely chosen -- "looks to me" is
hard for people to argue with.

Ok.
Naturally, someone could infer a meaning from my post, "it looks like
'biotech' to me and as I am such reasonable and intelligent person such
spelling is liable to be misinterpreted by other reasonable and
intelligent people, therefore your proposed spelling is a terrible
choice and you should be ashamed of yourself."
But I didn't say that.
