Ok, so with all the talk of the rapture taking place tomorrow, I’d like to address a fundamental issue – spelling (yes, I dare say it will be valuable hereafter as well, for those among us who will be departing). Come, coming, came. The end. Never a need to double up on the ‘m’. ONE m. Get it? Just one. If He really is coming, I bet it’s one ‘m’ as well. That’s not going to change. So no, He’s never comming.
I know, you’re going to argue with me and give me a list of words that double up on the consonant before adding ‘ing’. And, I’m going to tell you that you’re right (provided your list is accurate, of course). But try doubling the ‘m’ in come before adding ‘ing’, and you’ll be wrong. There’s a whole host of rules I usually can’t be bothered to remember – this post on 5minute English may help. Chances are, you’ll have to use “coming” more frequently than not. So please, pay the grammar gods homage and spell it correctly.
I trust that after my long rant about this one gracious word, you’ll spell it correctly. If not, heaven help you!
And, speaking of heaven – to the faithful who will be departing tomorrow, I bid you farewell. To the rest of us, keep an eye out for the new face of The Write Foot – coming soon!!! (Yes, that’s one ‘m’ as well – not two.)
