Funnelling

/ˈfʌnəlɪŋ/ verb

Definition

British English spelling of the present participle of 'funnel,' meaning to pour through a funnel or direct things through a concentrated channel.

Etymology

British spelling variant using double-l before -ing, following British conventions for consonant doubling.

Kelly Says

The British doubled the 'l' before adding '-ing' to match their spelling convention, while Americans just added '-ing' directly—a small difference that shows how spelling rules vary between English varieties!
