For Harry F.:
The rule in proper English is that the consonant after a short vowel in a two
syllable word should be doubled to keep the vowel short (e.g. preserve the
relationship to the meaning of the root word). Applying that rule: "Flippist"
is the correct spelling, but "Flipism" is incorrect. It should have been
spelt: "Flippism". "Flipism" indicates an "ism" pertaining to "Flipe" (sounded
with long I, as Fly-p).
O ja, Harry,- je roddelflop is in
Leidschendam!
