Most other words that contain such a sequence of repeatingletters are broken up by a hyphen, such as "sweet-toothed." Words in other languages don't follow these same rules, however. French, forone, is a language frequented by double and sometimes triple letters – thelatter being a convention that is not found at all in the English language.Take, for example, the verb "créer" in French. In the past participle form ofthe word, it takes another "e," making it read "créée" and translating to"created." Other Romance and Germanic languages also incorporate a third,repeating letter when conjugating a verb into past tense. Meanwhile, the English language enjoys other odd conventions. Only four letters(A, E, O, L) are doubled at the beginning of a word (e.g., aardvark, eel, ooze,llama), and yet more words start with double O than any others in the Englishlanguage.
