It can be spelled either way.
Like Yoghurt and Yogurt.
There's just two spellings.

As in 'Let's Swap Pokemon cards?'
if so.
it's Swap

I used to spell it as swop until a teacher shouted at me for it! So now I always spell it as swap.

Mrluvaluva 02-08-2007 03:48 PM

I also spell it as "swap"

Wasted 02-08-2007 03:51 PM

I always thought "swap" was the only way of spelling it.

Lauren 02-08-2007 04:24 PM

Was originally swap as it's etymology lies in the word "swappen", but swop is also a perfectly acceptable alternative.

Sunny_01 02-08-2007 04:31 PM

Swap is how I would normally spell it
