    Geez or Jeez?

    I realized just now that I use the two interchangeably. I think it's pretty even, but I might lean towards "jeez" more as it's short for "Jesus Christ".

    Which do you use?

    I tend to use jeez more nowadays. Can't remember the last time I spelt it with a G.

    It's pronounced the same way regardless of how you spell it. Unless you're British, or French, or German...

    If I stopped to think about it when I spelt it I'd write jeez since it's short for Jesus but usually I just use either.

    It's all wrong.

    JeezE is the proper spelling.
