Incorrect spelling

detailled

Incorrect spelling, explanation: the correct spelling is detailed, not detailled, because of standard English spelling rules. Detailed comes from the word detail + the suffix -ed (to form the past tense or past participle). In English, when adding -ed to a verb that ends in an unaccented vowel + consonant, we do not double the final consonant (unless the word follows specific rules like permit → permitted).


Correct spelling

detailed

Correct spelling, explanation: the word detailed comes from the verb detail (meaning to describe something thoroughly or itemize it), which itself originates from the French word détail, meaning a small part or item. Detailed is simply the past participle/adjective form of the verb detail. In English, adding -ed to a verb does not usually double the final -l unless the word follows specific rules (e.g., cancel → cancelled in British English). Detailled is an incorrect form.
