    Surely foodie is now the generally accepted spelling, isn't it?

    There may have been more variation (guessing) when the word first started to be used in print, but in recent years at least, I've never actually seen it spelled with a Y that I recall. It could still be a very occasional variant, but it's not one that I would recommend, and most teachers and editors would probably mark it wrong. (At least in AE; BE as always could differ.)

    w, you should divulge which dictionary you were citing, and also check other standard dictionaries to see if any of the rest list that spelling, or if the one you found is just an outlier.

    If you found the variant spelling in enough dictionaries to justify adding it, maybe this thread could at least be linked as a cautionary note.


    OT: The marking [saying] could be due to another menu-related bug ...

    I don't think the words are equivalent. A Gourmet or Feinschmecker is interested in the consumption of good food whereas a foodie is also interested in the preparation and origin of the food.

    The words are not equivalent. Being a foodie is also a lifestyle. But that happens when one is relying on a bot.

    wmw, there is an old Chinese saying: Write what you know, know what you write.

    If you don't know what a foodie is, apart from the definition in some dictionary, perhaps you should refrain from trying to enter new terms and leave that to people who actually know what they are writing about?

    Comment
    A grotesquely vulgar word, however it is spelled.

    AE dictionaries have only foodie, not foody. Foody should be marked BE.

    See also:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foodie
    n.Slang A person who has an ardent or refined interest in food; a gourmet.[1]
    Further, a foodie seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out for convenience or hunger.

    Also:
    "There are so many words that already describe the concept of people who like food, or enjoy cooking, or enjoy knowing about cooking. "Foodie": It's like the infantile diminutive—you put a "y" on the end of everything to make it childlike. We don't need it. It's embarrassing. "I'm a foodie." Oh my God."

    @8: My objection was to the simplistic translation of foody (or foodie) with Gourmet.

    I am sorry, but a foodie isn't just a gourmet. In the same sense that you wouldn't translate "Kobe beef" mit "Rindfleisch" you would not translate "foodie" mit Gourmet.
