Is it spelled canceled or cancelled? I did some googling and the answer is either way is fine, but the American way is actually canceled, without doubling the last consonant.
The ending single consonant should only be doubled when the accent is on the ending syllable. Examples: regretted, propelled, expelled.
But when the accent isn’t on the ending syllable (in words with more than one syllable), the ending consonant doesn’t need to be doubled. Examples: shoveling, leveling, worshiping. Yes those are all correct spellings.
Here, this page at Antimoon.com prolly explains it more correcter. Antimoon… Hahaha. Sounds like a website against mooning.
Anyway, camping. I was gonna go camping this weekend but Mike told me everyone flaked. And then he posted this MySpace bulletin which I’m posting here because I want to remember it.
