mischievous or mischevious?

[FatalError]

mischievous v/s mischevious
Urban dictionary doesn't have mischievous & google tells me that both the words are used almost equally. I have to use this word in a domain name so I better confirm it before shelling out $.

Which one is correct/better?

 

[Skippy McGee]

Who cares which one is grammatically correct?

Where did you find on Goog that they were used almost equally? It took me less than 10 seconds to find out that one has an average search volume of 60,500 and the other 8,100.

I know which one I'd pick.

You're talking about 'search volume'. I'm talking about their 'presence' - typing any of the term in google & looking at the total number of results.

But hey I almost forgot the keyword tool

Thanks now I know what term to go for!

mischievous - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

usage A pronunciation \\mis-ˈchē-vē-əs\\ and a consequent spelling mischievious are of long standing: evidence for the spelling goes back to the 16th century. Our pronunciation files contain modern attestations ranging from dialect speakers to Herbert Hoover. But both the pronunciation and the spelling are still considered nonstandard.

From the Urban Dictionary...

Mischievious

A common and disgusting mispronunciacion and/or spelling of the word mischievous. Mischievous is pronounced "miss-CHI-vus" and there is no "ious" about it. Some people insist that mischievious is an "alternate pronunciation," but only in the way that irregardless is a synonym for regardless--that is to say, only for fucking retards. Some argue that it is the evolution of language, but changes like this are driven by the illiterate and the ignorant, and it is careless to embrace them. And embarrassing.

Hahah.

Hahaha that' gold.


OP, why would you register a domain that half the people can't spell? Probably have a good reason, but I'm just curious..
