I visited c.i.c.l.e. a couple weeks ago and they have assorted news articles on their site, and one had "peddling" in the headline... so I borrowed a name (I don't know why... ) and simply commented "pedal! pedal! your spelling teacher is weeping!
.
The thread had a couple other comments (the first taking me to task for being too critical!) but before long somebody from cicle posts taht hey, they could use some help editing... does Cassie want to volunteer? (In the meantime I'd posted another correction, though I started with "nice article.")
So I guess I"ll email 'em and volunteer as myself ... BE YOURSELF always

my stepmom has a bulletin board that she puts up with a bunch of these. she makes the kids define each word and make sure its spelled correctly. i still get them confused sometimes. spelling and grammar aren't my strong points as you all know.

"Tripple" comes from the fact that almost all "consonant-l-e" words with a short vowel sound in the first syllable have two consonants before the l-e, so that the first syllable is a "closed" (short sound) syllable, and the second syllable is a consonant and l and e. THe person spelling triple with two p's has an astute intuition for spelling but hasn't learned the exceptions. SInce spelling is scarcely taught thoroughly anymore (or else you, too, would know why this word was tricky
) it's no surprise that people would make this mistake.
Consider: supple (though I have a friend who pronounces that souple!), grapple, pimple, and in the long-vowel world noble, able, and bugle. (Long vowel sound c-l-e words are much less common, too.)
And people say you never use this knowledge!!
