There is no logic when it comes to double letters,
in English: IMAGINE is spelled with a single M, in Italian with a double M: IMMAGINE. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

That word is a big problem for me too. Sometimes I type "deffinetly", no idea why. In Portuguese, I have some trouble with "viagem" and "viajem". I just never know when to use the g or j! Even though there's a rule for that, I just can't remember. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks a lot! That's a great explanation indeed. I often check the origin of words to remember them better (and just because it is interesting) but never thought to look this one up! 2 persons have voted this message useful |
