Ok, i’m going crazy reviewing copy on our website. Is it duffle bag or duffel bag? Apparently, spell check takes either. But shouldn’t there be only one that is correct?
From dictionary.com…

–noun
1.a camper’s clothing and equipment.
2.a coarse woolen cloth having a thick nap, used for coats, blankets, etc.
3.duffel bag.
Also, duffle.
Origin:

Well..that doesn’t help. I guess I’ll get over it. At least I learned it came from Belgium.
