Incorrect spelling, explanation: this spelling is wrong because there are no two l in the French original word (aligner). In English, we also don’t double the l and the correct spelling is align.
Correct spelling, explanation: origins of the word align are in French aligner, meaning line/in line. The original word is spelled with one l and thus the English word is also spelled with one l. Allign is incorrect.
