Spelling

accommodate

Two Cs, two Ms. It accommodates both.

  • Wrong: accomodate

    Right: accommodate

    Two Cs and two Ms.

The trick

It’s a big word, so it accommodates two of everything—two Cs and two Ms.

Regularly tops the list of most-looked-up misspellings. The usual failure is one M, because accomodate looks reasonable and sounds identical.

Now go double both letters.
