Is it 'I'm loath to admit' or 'I'm loathe to admit'? Brain says loath but isn't entirely sure...

Phew. Thought so but had one of those horrible moments of indecision where you think you're right but don't want to put the wrong thing because then you look like you're being a pretentious twit who can't actually speak English but is trying to be clever.

Have a nice sleep privet!

No, it's loth, I thought. (Will go and look in dictionary when kitten wakes up and gets off my lap!)

Can be loth or loath, according to my dictionary.

Another vote for "loth".

loath

"loth" is better to my mind
