    Ok, this came up in chat the other day. Thought it might be fun to have a poll about it:). Do you think this four letter word is mostly misspelled as orge or oger?

    oger is phonetically correct... just not grammatically correct.

    I see ogre misspelled as orge quite often, and that may be due to people typing too quickly. I do also see ogre misspelled as oger sometimes, and I would blame American spelling and Webster for the most part on that. British English words like centre and theatre, for example, are center and theater, respectively, in American English. I think oger should be an accepted American spelling if it's really that common. I have no problem with any of the spellings, except maybe orge which doesn't really make sense, even when pronouncing it.
