Incorrect spelling, explanation: this mistake appears quite frequently as when you want to add -an, -ing or -ed ending to the verb admit, you actually double the letter -t, which results in admitting and admitted. However, in the case of an infinitive form, the correct version is admit, and not admitt.
Correct spelling, explanation: this popular English verb comes from Latin, where it used to mean – to send. Over the centuries the meaning has changed and today it is a common verb, used both in formal and informal contexts. The only correct spelling of the base form is with a single -t letter at the end.
