Grandad or Granddad?

[joe-90]

Which is the right way? Neither look right to me now.

I always sign cards/letters to my grand children as Grandad.
This has just shown up as a mistake and right clicking shows the alternative way. I think I am right so to spell checkers!

Just looked it up in the OED and it seems both spellings are acceptable. Personally I'd always go with grandad, a double d just seems overly fussy.

 

[kevindgas]

depends on how Grand you wish to be!!

Well my grandkids think I'm the best and thats all that matters to me.

Most kids go to nana true or false?.

 

[conny]

If they want a relaxing time, listening to stories, playing with dolls, watching childrens tv etc then yes. If they want to roll and fight on the floor, play cowboys/girls and Indians or cooking cakes etc. then they come to grandad.

and Indians

Let's not go down that route.
I'll be banned again.

....of course they do, there is no-one like Nanny Sue
re the spelling I always put grandad, I think the other way looks strange.

 

[mysteryman]

OK. I'm strange, then.

My Grandchildren address me as 'Sir', as I have clearly instructed them to do.
