How Do You Spell CHITCHATTED?

Pronunciation: [t͡ʃˈɪt͡ʃatɪd] (IPA)

The word "chitchatted" is spelled with two "t's" in the middle, which can be explained through its IPA phonetic transcription /ˈtʃɪtʃætɪd/. The first "t" represents the sound /t/ which appears in the root word "chat", while the second "t" represents the sound /t/ which is added to form the past tense. This double "t" spelling conforms to the general rule in English where a short vowel sound followed by a consonant sound is usually doubled before adding a suffix, such as in "stopped" or "hopped".
