Like so many other words in English, there are two accepted spellings: cock·a·ma·my or cock·a·ma·mie -- are both correct.

It's the kind of cockamamy question that an Australian who was not sure how to spell cockamamy would ask an American.

It seems to me that asking "What kinda cockamamie question is that? :roll: is more cockamamy than asking "How do you spell cockamamy?" especially when you go to the trouble of using ten letters to spell a word when it is acceptable to use nine when you come from a country that is famous for mispelling words for the sake of brevity...sometimes.

What is even more cockamamy is that my spell checker is now underlining cockamamy in red and wanting to correct it to cockamamie lol
