Technically both are correct and chomping has been around for 100 years. If anything, champing is the almost never used hipster version.

The prevalence of misuse of this word must exceed that of almost all others combined . . . or at least it seems that way. And teachers seem to be the worst at it.

"chomping" has only become acceptable because so many people were getting it wrong they finally threw their hands up and said ok you retards can have this one.

Spotted someone using "rift raft" on here the other day.

"For all intensive purposes" is always a banger.
