Apparently this reminder is needed.

It is a meme.

    it’s pronounced “hiccup” but some people don’t respect the spelling and write it phonetically.

      I’ve never seen it written that way, love to read, was an EMT, went to college, etc… Just saying I missed that somewhere and often saw hiccup, even in EMT educational textbooks.

        UK here; hiccough is definitely what I’ve seen and been taught, perhaps it’s a geographical thing?

          This I return to my original: who says hiccough? I’m relatively well read and have some exposure to biology and medical professional context, and never saw it that way
