📚 Rules to Remember • Week 18

Rule 1 • Twin Letter Traps

accommodate has twin c's and twin m's; embarrass has twin r's and twin s's; committee has mm, tt, and ee.

Rule 2 • Single vs. Double Consonants

necessary has ONE c and TWO s's; recommend has ONE c and TWO m's.

Rule 3 • Parallel Lines in <parallel>

Remember: "the l's of parallel are parallel lines" (one r, double middle ll, single final l).

Rule 4 • Homophone Clarity

Stationery with an e is for envelopes and letters; stationary with an a means standing still.
