They’re not consecutive – there’s an i between the mm and ttee.

Aside from bookkeeper and bookkeeping, the following words with three consecutive double letters are allowed though you may not find them in the dictionary: bookkeepers, bookkeepings, bookkeep ( v. infinitive form), bookkeeps ( v. s- form). Should these be considered, bookkeepings is the longest English word with three consecutive double letters and the bookkeep is the shortest.

expand the question to 3 sets of double letters and take out proper names. “committee,” “unsuccessfully,” “successfully” and “whippoorwill” would be included.

I can’t believe how many people aren’t paying attention to the consecutive part?

Everyone missed the bookkeeper’s assistant: the subbookkeeper. And the guy who takes chances while repairing your roof: the rooffool. And the guy not using caution when diving into Australia’s coral: a reeffool.
