These rules are used within North America (Canada included), but overseas spelling is influenced by British English and leaves the “e” when suffixes are added.Įven though ageing has been the correct spelling in the UK, aging is becoming more popular.
The word aging, derived from age, drops the “e” according to English language rules of suffixes. For example, when you add a suffix to a verb, you will use -ed, -er, -es, -end, or -ing to provide whether the action took place in the past, present, or future. Suffixes are the letters added after a word to help designate tense. Use aging when writing American English use ageing in The UK, New Zealand, and Australia. The UK keeps the “e” when adding a suffix, while North Americans drop the “e”. Aging and ageing are the same word spelled in two different ways.
