Read moreDetailsE-Sport now the officially correct spelling
There is a lot of arguing going on in e-sports. Mostly about things that are not particularly important. You might think that it belongs whether it’s called eSports, esports, or e-sports.
Key Facts
- The Duden dictionary has recognized e-sports as an official spelling, and the neuter "e-sports" is also accepted.
- The decision differs from the international spelling Associated Press, which uses "esports".
The Duden publishing house has now made its decision, because as of today the word is officially in the Duden. And with the following spelling: The e-sport. As an alternative to the masculine noun, the neuter “the e-sports” is also accepted.
The publisher is thus deviating from the international spelling, as the Associated Press has opted for “esports”.
So now I’m a lawyer specializing in e-sports, or “e-sports lawyer.”
