When were the good old days?

Perhaps I indulge, once more in FFV®. Allow me to be more specific. In the days when people who *published spelled words correctly.

I learned it as dieing

Truly, bel? I can't say that I have ever seen that spelling (of course, I really don't recall seeing "ageing" either). Perhaps I simply block out all spellings that don't look right to me.... But I think I would remember "dieing," since, along with taxes, it's one of life's certainties .

M-W on line gives die/dying and dye/dyeing for losing life and recoloring respectively. No alternate spellings mentioned in either case. Search on dieing gives die/dying.
