When reading Barks's "Flipism" story (WDC 149), I noticed that Barks consistently spells "flipism" with one p, while "flippist" is spelled with 2 ps. I wonder what reason he could have for that?
Flipism and flippist are imaginary words. But are there existing English words where the -ism word is spelled differently from the -ist word?
