I have never seen it spelt close minded. I have always seen it as closed minded. Think I am going to check on that. It doesn't seem right to me.

Put your spell check on, or correct if you have got it on. Only a click of a button. That way you learn as you go along and can correct any wrong spelling or/and grammar too

Def close minded

I have looked on Google. Bother sides get a hearing as to why it is either or. Just sounds wrong to me as close minded. That will be because I have known it as the other 1.

I can see why it is close minded going on the descriptions. You say open-minded not opened minded so close minded rather than closed minded is accurate in the cross over of words.

Still sounds peculiar to me. I have never heard it used as close, always closed
