Hi all,
I'm new here, and I'll probably only visit this once. I'm trying to find out why marketing isn't spelled "marketting".
All of the rules I've found for adding -ing say to double the consonant. But every word ending in -ket doesn't seem to adhere to this rule (e.g. bucketing, marketing).
Does anyone have any references to explain why? What is the rule and/or exception to the rule?
Thanks,
Lem
