OK, clever wordy-type people, please settle an argument

If mutineers start a mutiny are they mutineering or mutinying?

mutinising

I'd go for the latter but couldn't say why

mutinying

mutinating?

speak for yourself, sobernow

mutating?

If mountaineers mountaineer then don't muntineers muntineer?

I love that sentence

Well, to mutiny is he verb, so I guess mutinying if you must.

Mutineer is a noun, so definately not mutineering.

I might say "behaving mutinously"

I didn't mean mine btw, just wanted to say something abount mountaineers

Oh arse, dh is right then. Mutinying sounds wrong to me - it should be mutineering.

You go mountineering, not mountainying, don't you?

mutineer is one who does it, darling, and not a verb in any way. Mutiny is a noun, but also a verb. So it's that. [helpful]

Lovely to see you by the way, now you're back I realise you weren't here (have you seen the thread asking after MTS today? Someone said it's like Kim's game on MN, you know someone's missing but you don't know who )

Racketeering, not racketying.

Ahhh, you're all pretending you noticed I was gone now...

I don't care, mutinying sounds awful!

I think Miaou's mutinising is a good compromise.

Or if they were girl mutineers they could be mutinetteing.

just noticed all my extra ns. Muntineer???

You know you've been married too long when you argue about such things...

are we married?

Blimey...are we? Is that you? Have you started the dishwasher?

snork!
