Nosy” is the most common form in both American English or British English, but “nosey” is still correct, though less common. When a word ends on a silent “e,” we generally drop the “e” before adding a suffix that starts with a vowel, but we keep it when adding one with a consonant.
Nosey is British English and nosy is American English. Both are correct.
Hello there are quite a few people that use commonly nosey even though the correct spelling is nosy

If you are talking about the spelling of "nosy*" and "nosey" both of them are correct. Nosy is the most used word than nosey, it means when someone can't mind their business and constantly get into other people's business when they shouldn't
Hi, in general it means : Someone that has a hard time minding their own business and are getting into other people's business when they shouldn't. Someone is being nosy.
Nosy and Nosey both spellings are correct in American and British English. The only difference is "Nosy" is most commonly used instead of "Nosey".
The correct one is nosey
Nosey is most commonly spelt *nosy* It is when someone is too interested in things that do not involve you, especially other people’s affair!
Hello. There are quite a few people that commonly use the word "nosey" but the correct spelling is in fact the latter "nosy". I hope you have found this helpful.
Well, I meant to write that nosey is more common but the auto correct decided to change it to nosy. That just proves that both are common :-)
Which word is correct? They both are but nosey is more common.
