This has bothered me for years and pops into my head here and there. Whenever I see the word triple my brain says it like the word “tripe” (the stomach of a cow that people eat)
Am I missing some rule that is used when it comes to spelling? Why is it Nipple and not Niple
Why no Tripple?

Probably best not to think about double consonants too much, especially if you’re from Cincinnati.
