Which is correct? "Flyer" or "Flier" for a one-page handbill?!!

1. Which side of the pond is the handbill being distributed?

That might make a difference

2. The 'Murkan side.

4. Which looks better to you? I like "flyer" (I have to type it on

something to be seen by a lot of folks)

[southpaw]

5. Yeah, whenever you can choose an 'i' or a 'y'

Always go with the 'y'

It's the coolest letter in the alphabet aside from 'z' which is a consonant and is, therefore, irrelevant in this instance.

8. I choose Y then!

:)

6. "Flyer" looks better, but "Flier" looks correct to me.

But since you can use either one, I say you go with the one YOU like. You are the one that has to be happy with the finished project.

Good luck!

[Lex]

7. I like Flyer too.

Thanks.

9. Pamphlet.

10. Flyer

In the Oxford dictionary, "flyer" is the standard and "flier" is the variant. But when I see the word "flyer" I think paper; the word "flier" conjures up a picture of an aviator.
