beggar or begger?

[heyt]

hi,

the dictionary says the correct spelling (meaning someone who is asking for money on the street) is BEGGAR, but I can often see the word (meaning the same) as BEGGER. Is this spelling totally incorrect?

thanks, :shock:

Did you notice that it was ambiguous? Which do you think is correct now? ;-)
