Stripy or stripey anyone ?

I would spell it with the ‘e’.

The other version reads as ‘strippy’ to me.

I would use stripey but I’ve seen stripy written so I guess take your pick and use whichever you want.

Yes definitely with an 'e'.

I would use stripy.

Stripey

Stripey. "Stripy" looks wrong to my eye. 😁

I have always written stripey both of socks and cats.

I suspect stripy is American usage, but don't know for sure.

I notice people pronouncing "awry" as "a -wry".

I was taught and the dictionary agrees that it is "awe-ry"

What do you think?

I don't understand that. Why would you pronounce it 'awe-ry'? The word is nothing to do with awe, as in wonder. It comes from the word 'wry' which means crooked or skewed. It should be pronounced a-wry.

Stripey was the zebra who lived on Timothy's shelf along with
Woeful the monkey, Getup the giraffe, Gumpa the bear and Little Mut.

Anyone know what I am talking about :-)

awry Bathsheba is correct

yggdrasil I knew I'd heard of Stripey before somewhere.
You must have a better memory than me!

Not a clue yggdrasil ! 😂
My grandchildren came home with a free book from nursery . We love books but the tale of the stripey sock left me cold.

Thanks everyone. I’m going to stick with the e version.

To make an adjective from words ending in e just drop the e and add the y.
Icy, Spicy, Nosy, Stripy. .....simply!

..."simply" is an adverb.

I kind of thought that was the 'rule'.
Icy, nosy, and stripy.

I would say stripey out loud but no idea how it should be written...

Striped? lol

Oh no. I write nosey as well !

stripey, circley, checkey.
striped, spotted, checked.
just buy plain socks

My Shorter Oxford Dictionary gives a-wry (and compares it with aright, as in did I hear you aright?) and stripy.
