Double or single l when adding a suffix?
Don���t raise 
a flag telling your readers that you don���t know when to spell words like signaling (Or is it signalling?).
The doubling of the l when adding a suffix to a word tends to be a British convention. So, if you are in America, use signaled. If you���re in Britain, use signalled.
Other words this rule applies to includes:
AMERICAN: fueling, marveling, modeling, traveling
BRITISH: fuelling, marvelling, modelling, travelling
An exception in America is when the stress of the word falls on the second syllable. Then use a double l, as in: annulled, expelled, extolled, patrolled.
A few British spellings also stick with a single l, though they are few: appealed, devilish, loyalist, travelogue.
Professional Book Editor: Having your novel, short story or nonfiction manuscript proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. I can provide that second eye.
