curet or curette? - Sami

Posted: Sep 12, 2010

Do 'curet' and 'curette' have the same meaning? Is it just a style issue of which one to use?

curet - 1mt

Yes - easily found on an internet search. Curet is a variant of curette.

Both are the same, I use curette - sm

They're both the same, just different variations in spelling. Stedman's lists both spellings, so either one would be correct, but I have always used curette.

Curet - Just like it better

No difference, just trained that way over 30 years ago. Our VR format uses curette. I know it is silly, but I just use an expansion to change it back very quickly. Old dog, new tricks?
