the rule is
vowel + L + vowel = double LL.
travel + ed
e + l + e = e + l l + e
travelled
i think its depend on the pronunciation not the number of the letters
so
dial = d ( ia = i ) l ------ dil
dialled
Did u get what i mean?
In the British accent ,we double the "l". I want to know why although the "l" is preceeded by two vowels.Answer me please quickly. Thanks for all in advance.

No. The rule is if the word ends in one consonant preceeded by one vowel,we double the last letter"consonant" and this cannot be applied in these two examples ..

sorry , but i think u forgot something
the rule is if the stress at the end of the word we double the last letter
visit + ing = visiting
but
begin + ing = beginning
------------------
if the word already ends in two consonants, or a consonant preceded by two vowel letters, the consonant does not double before any ending
fast + est = fastest
weep + ing = weeping
but
there is an exception
wool + en = woollen
what i want to say is there are alot of exceptions
so it means there is no rule it just depends on the pronunciation

*******************
This is just an addition and I hope it will clarify the issue being discussed
\ ‘l’ or ‘ll’ when adding -ing, -ed and some suffixes to verbs DOUBLE the l when it is
preceded by a single vowel.
cancel > cancelling, cancelled, cancellation enrol > enrolling, enrolled (but enrolment) fulfil > fulfilling, fulfilled,
fulfillment level > levelling, levelled travel > travelling, travelled, traveller
Exceptions: DO NOT DOUBLE the l when it is preceded by a double vowel (e.g. conceal > concealing, concealed)
My regards to all

BUT there are some exceptions
Did u see my example?
wool + en = woollen
Yes , of course I read it . You are right for every rule there are exceptions
If a rule applies to 100 word and there are 3 words exception , I think it is
useful to know that rule and it is applicable . So there are rules for
everything as Professor Grammar used to say
Would you mind look at the following
.
British versus American styles
British have final <l> in words with more than one syllable: fulfil;
American have <ll> fulfill, appall, enroll
Words that do not double in States before <ing ed er/or>;
traveling, kidnaped, equaled, counselor; plus woolen,
carburetor (British forms are exceptions to normal rule)
British ....................................... American
appal ...............................................app all
enrolment ..................................enrollment
skilful .................................................s killful
travelling ......................................traveling
jeweller ...........................................jeweler
woollen ...........................................woolen
kidnapped .................................kidnaped
worshipped ...........................worshiped
wagon ...................................waggon
