Manege/Menage?

[dwi]

Which is the correct spelling? I know which I think but I put up a notice at the yard and its been defaced in several places, including my spelling of the above word, wanted to know what you guys think

Menage

 

[Patches]

I always believe the correct spelling to be manège

 

[MizElz]

Try typing menage into Google with the safe search off

 

[sillygillyhorse]

Like Patches I also think manege (cant get the accent/accute over the e though!).

 

[Miss Tipps]

Manège.

The other is French for household.

Thanks guys, if I'm going to be all indignant about people defacing my very polite notice reminding people to pick up their horses poo from the brand new surface that we have just had installed after 4 months of waiting with nowhere to school then its nice to know that I'm at least in the right about my spelling.

For the record while I'm on a roll, am I correct in thinking that people should be picking up poo from the surface to keep the drainage good? The whole reason we had it resurfaced was that we had a real drainage problem, seem a complete waste of time if people are going to spoil it again

Are these liveries? I bet they all complained loud enough when the surface wasn't good! I don't know if it's to do with drainage but we were told to lift muck from our surface too also helps to keep any weeds at bay.

It doesn’t matter we know what people mean!

yes but I'm guessing that you wouldn't have defaced someone's notice because you disagreed with their (might I add correct) spelling

No of course, some people are so ridiculous!

Sorry I didn’t read all the posts just your first one!
