Incorrect spelling, explanation: this form is incorrect because the origins of the word are in Middle English atachen, so with just ch, not tch. /tʃ / sound is sometimes connected with tch, but sometimes also with ch, so this can’t be taken as a rule. Therefore attach is the correct form, and attatch is incorrect.
Correct spelling, explanation: attach is the correct spelling, due to its Middle English origin: atachen. Attatch is a mistake and this may be due to the fact that many second language speakers consider /tʃ / sound as tch, this is however not the rule. In this case, it is ch, so attach is the only correct form.

@TheRealRevolutionForAttatchNotAttach Either you’re joking or you’re simply dense. If you don’t believe that this is true, then why search it up? You’re searching for an answer that you already have, and you don’t want to believe these article. Go ahead, use “attatch” instead of “attach”, even whilst typing this comment the auto-spellcheck disagrees with you.
“Sorry everyone, We Found Out That The Spelling Is Actually Attatch. Sorry For The Inconvenience” Didn’t even bother to change the name? Amateur.
“This is “The Mandela effect” in play. It used to be “attatch” now it is “attach” Please change it back to “attatch”. Thank you.” The Mandela Effect has nothing to do with actual change – it is, at its simplest, remembering small but significant details incorrectly (ex. someone asking if you liked their blue shirt yesterday, when they wore a red one, triggering your mind into creating a memory/vision in your head of that person wearing a blue shirt rather than the red one)
Finally, @Ondoo I understand the inconvenience of foul language, however it is the price you must pay of using these free and – might I say – quite helpful website. You must also deal with many other people, including those easily dislikable and, frankly, annoying.
IF anyone is reading this I have no clue as to why, but I hope you have a great day/afternoon/evening/night!
