Hi everyone !
I �m in doubt...
Is "shyer than" correctly spelled? Or should it be "shier than" as in "noisier" or "happier"?
If "shyer than" turns out to be correct , why is it so?
Thanks in advance and kind regards !! |

Dear NanG,
According to this http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/shy both are considered correct.

Hello,
As far as I am concerned, the correct form would be...shyer... because "shy" in the comparative or superlative form is an exception. While dry, funny, etc change the "y" for the "i", shy does not!
I hope it helps!
Have a nice day!
