Fic question: is it hippy, hippie, or are both acceptable? Google's giving me both options.

(Ah, that's hippy/hippie as in a flower child, not as in Giles'-drawing-of-Buffy-in-Hush)

*g* See, I'd never seen it spelled 'hippie' till I started researching for this fic. Possibly a Brit versus American thing, or I've just read a lot of stuff by people who mis-used it...

*blinks in surprise* Were they called "hippies" in Britain? I thought that particular movement was largely an American thing, and mostly restricted to the west coast at that.

My parents, in rural Northern Ireland, were flower children. I have the hideously embarrassing photographic evidence...

ROTFLMAO!!!

I'm SO glad my parents were too busy acquiring higher education in the 70s to become flower children...
