"triple" should have 2 p's.

[cantthinkofanything]

I'm mystified why it only has one "p". Why "nipple" have two but "triple" got only one. Maybe some kind of oversight back in the day?

In fact, of the words that rhyme with "triple", all them got two "p"s. Except for a couple of oddball words.

And I'm not the only one wondering...

I went for a triple blue cheese burger. Seriously, why does "triple" only have one "p" but "nipple" have two? I blame the moles for that one.

I think the real question is why doesn't it have 3 p's? Think about it.
