1) My Oxford dictionary says "ageing (BrE) (also aging AmE, BrE)"
2) BBC World Service site says: "The answer is that both are correct! Ageing is the form that
is more commonly found, although aging is occasionally used."

3) It seems that "aging" is acceptable everywhere, but "ageing" is only acceptable in UK,
Australia etc. |
