Incorrect spelling

dinning room

Incorrect spelling, explanation: a common mistake made by English users is to spell the word dining room with a double -n, which gives an incorrect form dinning room. The mistake is probably the result of the fact that a common word dinner, which belongs to the same word family, features a double -n letter. Therefore, remember that the only correct spelling of a dining room is with a single -n letter.
