Academic writing is never just about content. The way you write, which words you use, and how you build your sentence structure, these are all details that fuel your overall impression on the readers. Spelling mistakes can be especially disastrous, since the correct way of writing is the ground basis for everything. This article is about the spelling of “coming”, which is often written incorrectly as “comming.”

The correct spelling of “coming”
“Coming” is the progressive form of the verb “to come,” which means “to arrive” among other things. “Comming” with two M’s, however, is just an incorrect spelling and does not mean anything.
Correct spelling
coming
Incorrect spelling
comming
The incorrect spelling probably originates from the pronunciation of the word, since the m-sound is sometimes stressed in spoken language. Furthermore, there are other verbs like “to run,” where the progressive form is also built by doubling the last consonant into “running.” Still, this is not the case with the verb “to come.”
Examples
- Are you coming over for Christmas?
- She asked if I was coming to the party tonight.
