Wean or wain? This question has divided Glaswegians for years. 

The word, meaning a young child or toddler, has been used for generations by people in Glasgow and further afield, but with differing views on how it should be spelt written down. 

Now our readers have had their say on how to spell the word. 

Lynz Moore sided with 'wean', saying: "Wean; Coming from “wee ane”. Wain is for those who can’t spell!"

Colin Gibson backed Lynn, adding: "Wean...no matter what age they are lol."

However, some are still firmly in the 'wain' camp. 

Nikita Santos said: "I spell it wain.. the same sound as Train plain again. Not wean, like lean, mean, bean. But each to their own we aw know wit someone is referring to no matter which way you spell it out of the two."

While Lesley Wilson agrees with Nikita, she has conceded that it may not be correct. 

She said: "I always write “wain” but I know I’m wrong, it should be “wean”."
