    The query was over the correct spelling, just wondering how people said it/if there are variations.

    Sorry i asked, sheesh

    wasn't getting at you, was just wondering if there were variations in how it was said, I'm from norn Ireland and peeps in england always take the pee out of how I say things, just wondered if this was another one :D

    To me its Auntie pronounced arntee/arnty.

    I am an Aunt tho :D Auntie is ok if you are receiving/sending from/to young nieces or nephews but as I am 32 and my youngest niece is 10 I sign things as Aunt.

    Also for the few Aunts I send to, their cards say Aunt on the front, Auntie seems a little childish to me :o

    I have an Auntie Bobbie, but I'm an Aunty as my name ends in a 'y' so it looks best! Aunty ****y! So I use both really.

    I'm the exact opposite - my name ends in a 'y' and I prefer Auntie ****y as the two 'ys' look funny to me :D

    When I buy cards for my sister from the kids I buy ones with Auntie on them but when I write in them I write Aunty and all of my Aunties are Aunty.

    Hmmm its a strange one!!!
