You misspelled *misspelt*.


Yes, that's one of those words that I always can't remember whether
it's
one or two eses.

It's hardly important.* The one I can never remember is
tarrif/tariff. There's no logical reason for the double letter on one
consonant and not the other.


No need for the letter "C" also. Or yet, the "PH" for "F" sound.

Yes indeed, but how come misspelt has two eses in the middle yet mistake
mistype and misread have only one.
Also pluses and buses have only one, which has never looked correct to me.
Even the word *eses* feels to me that it should be esses.

Or is it just me?* :-)




Because you're adding the "mis" to the actual word. Thus, spell is it's
own word and the prefix "mis" connects to the word "spell" which starts
with the "s" creating the two esses together. Still no difference than
your examples of "mis"type, "mis"read, etc.
