I have expressed before my frustration with what I feel is an abundance of superfluous double letters in the English language.
No estan utilizados otros idiomas. ¿Por qué en inglés?
This frustration is compounded when I work with and correct spreadsheet data from a coworker who uses double letters effusively. Two of the most annoying instances:
hemophillia and
possitive home pregnancy test.
Grrrrrrr!

And I STILL remember how to spell "Philippines". But I do have trouble with Cinn- Cincinn- Cincinnatt-- ... that city in Ohio.
Oh damn! I meant:
