The R -- or other final consonant == is doubled when the final syllable is
stressed, or at least, piqued.
beginning, occurring, kvelling,
bothering, considering, traveling
In the word preferable, the stress is no longer on the 'fer' syllable. so it
doesn't double.
In American you say travelling, but that spoils my theory so just ignore it.
Actually I'm just guessng. What do you think?
