One To Work On...
A bookkeeper friend of mine was into not only numbers but kinds of words and word formations as a hobby. He enjoyed tinkering and investigating everything about words.
One of his projects was to find words with unusual makeup.
For instance; How many words can you find with double letters such as school,- sch-OO-l? Charlie found 126.
How many words can you find that have double double letters, such as balloon,- 'Ba-LLOO-n'?
Charlie found this a bit harder. He found 61.
Now for the biggee! How many words can you find with triple-double letters? Charlie could find only one. How about it?
Give it a go!

mississippi comes to mind.
The letters have to be together. Example:Soorree. Mississippi-the dioubles are separated by the other letter, "i".
There is a hint in the post. Read it carefully.

Am I the only one who thinks that double should really be spelled dubble?
