    Correct spelling of "queuing"?

    Correct spelling of "queuing"?

    Comment
    Who knows what's the correct spelling of the term "queuing". Or is it "queueing" with the additional (originally French) "e"?

    BTW LEO offers both versions but w/o any further explanation about orthography.

    Queueing. You're right, this is the correct spelling.

    Queuing I have certainly never heard of, can you really use it? I would have corrected it if someone gave it in to me!
