Recommend vs. Reccomend

One C, two Ms.

The comparisoni

✗ Wrong

I would highly reccomend it.

✓ Correct

I would highly recommend it — one C, two Ms. RE + COMMEND. RECCOMEND swaps the doubled letter.

The ruleii

Re-COM-mend.

RECOMMEND parses as RE + COMMEND. The doubled letter is the M (from "commend"), not the C. The mnemonic: "recommend" has more Ms than Cs.

Memory aidiii

Remember it like this

One Coffee, two Marshmallows.
