Is it window sill or Window cill??
« on: July 24, 2007, 01:59:11 pm »
Hi

Just getting some leaflets done up and my wife poped her head over my shoulder and queried the spelling of cill/sill. She said sill, I had cill. Which is it?

Thanks

David

It's SILL, but for some unknown reason it gets called CILL on the cleanitup forum- I've often wondered why!

Oxford English Dictionary

Lists "Cill" as a variation of "Sill"

And for "Sill" it says also ""Cill" especially when referred to by building trades/professions."

So either (which you can pronounce ee-ther or eye-ther  ;D)
It's a game of three halves!

I've always known it to be spelt CILL, but I was in the uPVC industry for many years.

I was in the window fitting game, and it was always cill for outside and sill for the inside.
