If you have
a dictionary that says "embarass" is acceptable,
you really ought to consider replacing it.
If you ever find yourself having to write something
formal, and you rely on it, you could end up
looking foolish. Here in rrs looking foolish is
a requirement.
Hey, Oz, before you look any more foolish, try punching the word (with only one
R) into a search browser. If you're correct you should get no hits, right?
This is a foolish thing to argue over, but you seem to have a dire need to
prove that you are always right.
Take the browser test. Both spellings are correct. One is the American version
and one is the British version. Context: Why does Lare always use British
spellings?
Have a nice day. And, really, look it up in a dictionary.
