Proposal to reintroduce the Trivia

Bookkeeper was said to be the only word in the english language to have three double letters in a row. The words that Notinasnaid gave were all derived from the word Bookkeeper- bookkeeping, bookkeeper. I was going to add it before i saw the discussion here. Are there any other words with three double letters in a row? if not we should add the trivia section again.--Darnedfrenchman (talk) 15:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I was also told that it's the only double-k word in English.
There's a Narcoossee Road in central Florida, but that's probably a Native American word. WHPratt (talk) 13:04, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Obviously outdated for newer aspects but still good for historical/timeless bits:

  • "Book-Keeping" , Encyclopædia Britannica, 9th ed., Vol. IV, New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1878, pp. 44–47.
  • "Book-Keeping" , Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th ed., Vol. IV, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1911, pp. 225–229.
