orthography - “Programming” versus “programing”: which is preferred?

I was surprised that my spell checker did not complain for programing with one m, so I Googled it, and found on free dictionaries that both forms were acceptable.




  • Which one is more common? Does it depend on the geographical location? My perception is that the spelling two m’s seems to dominate.


  • Is this part of a more general word formation rule, or mostly an exception?
