British Flutherites, how do you spell the diminutive of "mother"?
I know that Brits pronounce the word “Mommy” as “Mummy”, and “Mom” as “Mum”. But how is it spelled? Is the spelling the same as it is here in the States, or do you spell it the way it sounds (to us)?
On a related note, if the word is actually spelled “Mummy” there, do you have another word for an Egyptian pharoh preserved in bandages? Or is “Mummy” dual-purposed?
