They need to go case sensitive, eliminating double capitals. That is clearly where ii are coming from.

Double L is the Latin influence.

And Hawaii and Pompeii. Roman numerals do make up a lot of the ii's. Roughly, about 75% of them. A lot of the xx's too.

A majority of the jj must come from articles about Korean things.

I would expect XX to be much higher (genetics, the band, etc)

There's also lots of double Ls in English; such as pull, allow, traveller...
glidespokes t1_jces3pn wrote
Same in german. There (and English too I believe?) it simply means the preceding vowel is pronounced short.

As with so many other 'rules' of English, there's lots of exceptions

Thats what I though, but how can there be 43 million words with ll when there’s roughly 200k words in the english vocabulary 🤔🤯

Each occurrence. I’m sure that, for example, the word “shell” appears more than once in Wikipedia, but it only appears once in the list of words in the English vocabulary.

Interestingly, in terms of words with consecutive double letters, there is only 1 word with 3 consecutive double letters and only 1 word with 4 consecutive double letters. These words are Bookkeeper and Subbookkeeper respectively.
