WRITING |
One of the comments English teachers really dread to see on their evaluations is "The professor really helped me improve my writting." When "-ing" is added to a word which ends in a consonant, that consonant is normally doubled, but "write" has a silent E on the end to ensure the long I sound in the word. Doubling the T in this case would make the word rhyme with "flitting."
