HeHasRisen Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Does the fact that various people including myself are taking the p*ss out of you indicate you may actually be using the less accepted spelling of the word? Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A definition of flue/flu/influenza/‘flu is an acute, highly contagious, respiratory disease caused by any of three orthomyxoviruses. 26 minutes ago, bungleboy69 said: https://grammarist.com/spelling/flu-flue/ Even that link acknowledges that ‘Flu was sometimes spelled flue when it first emerged in the early 19th century (a century or so after influenza), but flu has now been the standard for over a century’. I agree that flu is the more common, standard spelling but flue is still an alternative spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Bundy Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 10 hours ago, Mister M said: I had a flu vaccination down at Boots on the Moor. I think I had to pay about £15:00, as I'm not in one of the free categories, but it's well worth it. But don't you now have to have vaccinations for much more after being exposed the delights of the Moor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattricia Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 I also had a flu jab last year. Also a Covid one. These jabs won’t stop you getting these viruses but if you do get them the virus won’t be as bad as if you hadn’t had them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
