is "UpdatEing" a correctly spelled word?

I thought it was always spelled as Updating.

 

There is an author who needs web site Updateing.

 If typos become an offense I'll be in jail within minutes.

 

No we can't send you to jail.  It was in the title though the exact word was "Up-dateing"

Maybe someone is being cute/using this for style.

 

"Updateing" is most definitely NOT standard spelling.

In my personal life "updateing" is spelled incorrectly.

 

But I'm a mercenary. So if a client wants to pay me to do some updatEing, I'll do it.

 Preston, I don't remember much SQL, but I think updatEing may trigger an error.

Updateing is incorrect - period. 

 

However ageing and aging (UK and US English) are both acceptable - such are the vagaries of the English language
