Enroll
I can see that two ways of spelling this word are posible:
enroL and enroLL. What's the difference? Where is each one used?
Thanks

I am sorry, Pieanne, it was a typo. I've modified it now. It's ENROL and ENROLL.

Well, can't help you here, they're both in the dictionnary with the same and only one definition!

Maybe "enroll" has appeared because people don't make mistakes when they use it in the
-ing and -ed form?
-ing and -ed form?

Maybe... But why hasn't it happened then to any other words? I hope dictionarues wouldn't consider people's mistakes as correct langage-transformations.

Yes, but the uncreasing use of some words that maybe weren't in any dictionary makes them appear in a dictionary. The use creates the existence and the recognition.

Well, as far as I know,
- to enrol and enrolment are rather used in the UK and the Commonwealth (Australia, Canada, ...)
- to enroll and enrollment in the USA.
But you can use enrol in US English, too, but it's not so common.
So, it's your choice, choose what you like best.
