When is “L” doubled?
I’m confused about the two spellings. In which contexts do I have to use canceling or cancelling?
Google returns 15.6 million results with canceling and 18 million with cancelling, so I don’t know what is the good spelling. Why are both possible, and are there other such pairs?
There are many words that have different accepted spellings between British and American English.
The wiktionary.org entry for “cancelling” says:
Alternative forms
· canceling (US English)
This implies that a single “l” is preferred in American English and a double “l” in British English.
