tunneling vs tunnelling?

[panosgr]

Hello all,

From my research both tunneling and tunnelling are right spellings of the word. Is this true?

is one american english and the other one british english?

thanks a lot

Yes, the shorter one is American.

 

[panosgr]

so double l for the British version?

(i would have bet the opposite)...

 

[panosgr]

Hmm... here tunnelling from FOLDOC it says that tunneling (one l) is US

also here http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/tunnel it says that one l is US

 

[panosgr]

so?

 

[Raymott]

so?

So, everyone agrees, and you have your answer. 'll' for BrE, AusE, 'l' for AmE. Did you have another question?

Nope, thanks a lot!
