They're not different spellings, they're totally different conjugations, pronounced differently

Depending on the region you find yourself in, sometimes one conjugation is prefered over the other, but they're all correct

[fresh flame]

which one is which region, generally?

[neat moat]

It also depends on tense

[dry oak]

It also depends on formality lol

[neat moat]

And which person I believe

Yea

[dry oak]

And personal preference

[fallow glen]

ultimately, it's not worth worrying about, imo
use whichever you want
and listen to what peopel use around you and maybe copy them
but you'll be understood regardless of what you use

[dry oak]

I would say "assoir" is good

it's not too formal nor "stuck up", and it's not informal either

(because they're two different verbs that mean the same thing @fresh flame, « asseoir » and « assoir » (pronounced the same in the infinitive))

Asseoir gives the "ey" conjugations
Assoir gives the "oy" conjugations

And « asseoir » to me sounds more formal or sometimes high class

[unborn orchid]

i would say the most common way to conjugate this verb is a mix of both 💀

je m'assois, tu t'assois, il s'assoit, nous nous asseyons, vous vous asseyez, ils s'assoient

is what i say and what i hear the most (from a parisian point of view)

[dry oak]

yeah I'd say so too
