so when you refer to the half lion half eagle mythical creature which spelling do you use. griffen griffin or gryphon.
I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

I dunno why but I always thought that any spelling other than Gryphon was incorrect. According to wikipedia though, griffin, griffon, and gryphon are all correct ways in spelling said mythical beast, not griffen though.
yeah i always liked griffin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Griffin
maybe its different in other countries..
The Enecylopedia description of Griffen is "a species of wild tomato found in Africa"
And also it says a Griffin is : "Slang or Jargon for cumquats"

My HARDCORE Story
I always say gryphon. Not sure if that is the correct one, though
I always use Gryphon when I spell it out completely. But, often times in a game I'll just shorten it to "Griff" because I am that lazy.
if you played EverQuest they used griffin, griffon, and griffawn
Well, the AD&D Monster manual has "griffon", case closed
I spelled it "griffin" - I think that's the way Merv spells it...
To-may - to To-mah-to ... Let's call the whole thing off
No idea how to create a sig, so -------------------------------

just because griffen isn't right doesn't mean people don't use it.

Well, according to your poll at this moment, no one does use it.
well according to my poll no one that plays games that usually fantasy based use it.

Well I usually say "Greif", since I'm german :P
But I would use Gryphon if I had to choose.
Where's the choice for "Peter"...?
I was about to ask the same thing!
I grew up with it being spelled Griffon .. which is how its spelled in the old first addition D&D monsterous manual too (my first experience with the critters).. but from a visual perspective I think I prefer Gryphon these days. But they are really all good.
Which Final Fantasy Character Are You?
Final Fantasy 7
well a couple of people do use the griffen spelling.
