Is doxed and doxing spelled with two x's?

[CervixHammer]

personally I consider doxxxing to be when there's nudes

It's a new enough word that a common spelling hasn't emerged yet. So have fun with it, and maybe *your* spelling will catch on!

Billy hated that sjw cunt, so he doxx'd the fuck out of xir.​

he doxx did?
he doxx had?
he doxx would?

No matter the spelling a contraction is wrong and i hope the common core zoomers don't make this happen.

after a double X or triple X an apostrophe D means a hard sassy urban T. Bitch got doxx'd gud! See, language evolves bro. I don't make the rules, except when I do.

But I want to know which one is more grammatically correct.

There are no valid English words that contain two sequential exes. There are some proper nouns like Exxon and Fluxx that use it, and it's used in Roman numerals, but as far as generic words that show up in real dictionaries it's completely unheard of.

Based on that precedent "doxing" would be the grammatically correct spelling, especially since phonetically-similar words like "boxing" and "foxing" are also spelled with a single x. There's no way to clearly pronounce sequential exes anyway, so there's no reason to use them in any functional word. People add them to brand names because they think it looks cool, but that type of stylization isn't used for normal words.

If you wanted to be generous you could argue that "doxxing" is an accepted slang spelling like "thicc", but that doesn't change the fact that "doxing" is the only grammatically proper spelling.

Interesting, I never thought of it that way.

Anyone remember a website called doxdog? You could enter usernames into it and it would find every instance of that account. Shit wuz fire.

I think that's just called Google.

But what about the past tense of bix nood?

Bixx'd nood mofo!​

See, wasn't hard to come up with an example of double X.

 

[DocHoliday1977]

Wait let me looking up in the Fassbender Engrish/Dorche Dictionary

I guess it's 1 x.

 

[Guts Gets Some]

More X's are never a bad thing. Doxxing is way more fun to write.

I thought it was "Doxx" for years because I thought it was a Something Awful term similar to "Toxx", which means you're willing to bet your account on a future event happening and you'll get banned if you're wrong.

but Wikipedia spells it "dox" and I wanna be contrary to them so "doxx" it is
