I like cancel -> canceled, kind of like doubt -> doubted. It's not doubtted, or is it?
It's not "doubtted" because there's a consonant before the t. If it were a vowel you'd double the 't'.kinghami3 said:I didn't even know there was a "cancelled".

Dictionaries only follow popular usage. Only one of them will follow the proper grammar rules (2 Ls I believe). Who the hell knows who came up with the rules though, and seriously, who know sif a word comes from a latin or greek base etc?Ridemonkey said:

Possibly 1 in a few hundred thousand. Unless you are actively studying greek/latin or phonology, it is pretty rare to actually know a words base root, and be able to figure out which usage is correct.kinghami3 said:Well, it is kind of central to my area of study

Theologians and Historian have a tendency to study Greek, Latin and phonology. I'm studying Theology and History. As I go into graduate studies, I will probably learn all three. Just sayin.Transcend said:
