Tongue.

[–]fluffyponyza 5 points6 points ago

Could be Old English? It was the common spelling of tongue up till the 1600's or so. Examples:

1380, John Wyclif, English works (1880 edition by the Early English Text Society)

He schal make his tounge cleue faste to þe roof of his mouþ.

1536, Register of Riches, in Edward Ledwich, Antiquitates Sarisburienses; or, the history and antiquities of old and new Sarum (1771)

Having ... two white Leopards and two dragons facing them as going to engage, their tounges are done in curiousest wyse.

1562, John Heywood, Woorkes. A dialogue conteynyng prouerbes and epigrammes

Thy tounge runth before thy wit.

Truth be told, I prefer the Urban Dictionary definition:

How stupid people spell the word "tongue."

Is it really that fucking hard?

[–]SkyNTP 1 point2 points ago

I will allow it. Now -10 points for inconsistency.

Welcome to Reddit: Where the downvotes flow like wine on grammatical errors, until a cat is involved.

Downvote for spelling error. I'm sorry man, but this is reddit, and that shit isn't allowed.
