What Alf said, in either spelling :).  Also, you can use a thin tail and
shorter pins, which hopefully makes sense in this series of photos:

This was a practice joint that I cut, and it shows the mitred option and
the thin tail option I mentioned above.  The latter requires working
with two baselines, and forgetting that can cause much consternation
(DAMHIKT).

All grooves here were cut with a Stanley #45, and are not stopped.  This
was the end product after a few of those practice pieces in pine:
