Pacy or pacey?

[irmamar]

My book says "a pacy action". I've looked "pacy" up in an online dictionary but I haven't found it. In another one it says "pacey" (rápido), as if "pacey" were more correct. Would you use pacy or pacey?

Thanks

I wound never use either word
It sounds like a word a publisher uses to sell a book. It's a made up word
based a on the real word : Pace.
Because pace can be fast or slow, "pacey"doesn't make sense.

No he oído nunca pacy ni pacey pero según los diccionarios de Cambridge y de Macmillan, ambas son distintas ortografías de la misma palabra que quiere decir rápido. También dicen que es una palabra británica.

Es bueno saber que tu autor no se haya vuelto loco

I would not use either.

Yes, I think I'm studying words that nobody uses. I don't think my teacher has driven crazy, but me

Indeed I was wondering the same when reading the title of this thread to be honest.

'To drive someone crazy' --- 'To make someone else crazy' (Cómo se dice en español, hacer/volver loco/a??).

'To go crazy' ---- 'To make yourself crazy' (volverse loco/a).

PD: You could use 'driven' too but then you would have to use the 'passive' sentence: 'I don't think he has been driven crazy' (but then you would have to specify by what exactly, and to be honest this sounds less natural to me. )

Thanks, gambita. So, did you went crazy?

Did/do + NP + infinitive.
