| 词组 | nickel, nickle |
| 释义 | nickel, nickle Nickel is the original spelling, the usual spelling, and, in the opinion of many people, the only correct spelling. Nickle, on the other hand, is undoubtedly common in casual writing and not at all rare in edited prose: • ... identified its most promising nickle mining prospect —Australian News Weekly Pound-Up, 15 July 1970 • ... asking for a nickle, a dime, a quarter —Bill Taylor, Northern Echo (Darlington, England), 3 July 1974 • ... wouldn't give you a nickle —Bluegrass Unlimited, September 1982 • ... the recent nickle-a-gallon federal gas tax —J. Tevere MacFadyen, Smithsonian, April 1984 Even so, you are well-advised in this case to join the majority and spell it nickel. |
