A homophone is a word that sounds the same as another word but has a different meaning and/or spelling. “Flower” and “flour” are homophones because they are pronounced the same but you certainly can’t bake a cake using daffodils.

The doubling rule states that if a one syllable word ends with a vowel and a consonant, double the consonant before adding the ending (e.g. -ed, -ing).

Y is considered to be a vowel if… When y forms a diphthong—two vowel sounds joined in one syllable to form one speech sound, such as the “oy” in toy, “ay” in day, and “ey” in monkey—it is also regarded as a vowel. Typically, y represents a consonant when it starts off a word or syllable, as in yard, lawyer, or beyond.

Doubling to Protect the Vowel. Now for the second part: consonants are double to “protect” the short vowel for words ending in consonant+le or consonant+y. Think of words like “apple” and “happy”. Double letters are added in these cases because consonant+le and consonant+y endings are syllables on their own.

The Rule for Doubling the Medial Consonant (the Rabbit Rule) states that if there is one medial consonant sound after a short vowel in a two-syllable word, the medial consonant is doubled.

But, in fact, English spelling is not entirely arbitrary; it is just that the spellings of English words reflect the origins of the words rather than their sounds. Rabbit is spelt with a double ‘b’ because it comes from a Flemish word robbe; habit has one ‘b’ because it comes from a Latin word habitus.

The most common double letter is L, with LL accounting for 0.6% of all bigrams. Other common double-letter bigrams are SS, EE, OO, and TT. Some double letters did not appear in the corpus: JJ, KK, QQ, VV, WW, and YY.

The words aardvark and aardwolf are two exceptions. Both come from early Afrikaans (note the a’s), in which aarde means “earth.” Afrikaans has changed over the centuries and the Afrikaans word that English aardvark is based on is no longer in use.

There are exceptions to this rule; the letter ‘z’ is always doubled, and the letters ‘h,’ ‘w,’ ‘x,’ and ‘y’ are never doubled.

Silent letters are letters that you can’t hear when you say the word, but that are there when you write the word. Silent letters can distinguish between homophones, e.g. in/inn; be/bee; lent/leant. This is an aid to readers already familiar with both words.

For those who don’t know what bubble letters are, it’s basically a lettering style where the letters look puffy and bloated kinda like bubbles – hence the name. Bubble letters are easy to learn and fun to do, but at the same time without knowing some of the basics, it’s easy to get lost in the process.

When the “Edit WordArt Text” window pops up, type the words to convert into bubble letters into the “Text” box. Pull down the “Font” menu and click a font such as Microsoft YaHei; not all regularly available fonts may be rendered as WordArt.
