Dent or Dint?
My best friend and I are having a very meaningless conversation and we need some clarification.
(Please take into account that it is 1.20am)
I said we have a ‘dint’ in the wall, but he says no it should be a ‘dent’ in the wall.
Which would you use?
(This dent/dint is about and inch and a half wide and is indented about the width of my pinkey)
Thanks for your help!

Generally, ‘Dint’ refers to the force used in making a ‘Dent’ or hollow. However, at places dint also means a dent. So, in your case the argument seems to be meaningless, however, if I HAVE to take a side then I shall say there is a ‘Dent’ on the wall.

Generally the word dent refers to a malleable substance i.e. metal – such as a car panel.
Dint refers to something less malleable like brick, rock, concrete and so on.
Personally if I were there at 0120 staring at your bedroom wall with your friend I would most certainly chose to say Dint to help me concentrate.
