Talk:Gipsy rhumba

Why is it spelled [here] with the letter 'i' -- ? --
I realize that this word sometimes comes with some warnings ... for example, at gypsy it says "(sometimes offensive)" for the first "sense" or definition listed there.

Since some dictionaries -- including, notably, Wiktionary -- refer the reader to an entry for [the spelling] "gypsy" when an attempt is made to look up [the word] gipsy -- and since the kind of "warning" mentioned in the paragraph above seems to apply regardless of the spelling -- it seems to me that the spelling "gypsy" should probably be used in a place like this. (For one thing, it might enable readers to "bypass" at least one level of "redirect" ... even if not reducing the total number of "redirects" all the way down to zero.)

On the other hand, there might be some factor[s] influencing the choice [of the spelling] that I am not aware of.

(Side comment: in the section about "Rumba flamenca", it actually uses the spelling "gypsy rumba" in a two-word phrase.)

Hence, this question: Why (should we) use the spelling "gipsy" [in the "title"] here, instead of "gypsy" '''-- ? --'''
