I simply NEED to know.

July 17, 2010

Something has been bugging me. See these two words:

Hooray! Hurray!

Both look correct. Spell check likes both versions. But which is really correct? Or are they equally correct? Or does it depend entirely on how you pronounce the word as to which version to use? I simply NEED to know.

    I think it’s “Hooray” As in “Apparently Lori just ran out of things to blog about. Hooray!”

    I agree with Sam and NOT Sam. Hooray is the correct one.
