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.

Explain Mississippi.


Sissippi is not a word. If you need explanation, you're a bigger tool
than you originally display.

I didn't ask about Sissippi, I asked why Mississippi needs double
letters.


Why is the "w" silent in Sword?

Don't aks me, my name's Hucker.


The same reason Missouri uses two esses, and Matterhorn uses two tees
and tomorrow uses two arz and so on.
