What is spelling rule V?

Answer 2

in words of more than one syllable ending in a single consonant preceded by a single vowel, you double the final consonant only if the last syllable is stressed..you do not double the consonant if it is preceded by double consonants or vowels...or if it is followed by a suffix beginning with a consonant

Answer 11

it is said: @The most numerous exceptions to this rule are words ending in -l ....these usually double the l even when the accent does not fall on the last syllable, eg, travel-traveller-travelling;counsel,counsellor, but note parallel-paralleled,civil-civility
