Incorrect spelling

admited

Incorrect spelling, explanation: as the base form of the verb admitted is to admit, many users of English make a mistake by spelling the word as admited. The rule, however, says that when a verb ends in a consonant that is preceded by a single vowel, we need to double the consonant while adding -ed or -ing ending to the word. Therefore, the only correct form is admitted.


Correct spelling
