    I have a spelling question.

    In a fanfic I?m currently writing, my characters contact each other by comlinks, and my question is how do you spell what they are doing?
    Are they coming each other, or are they comming each other?

    None look good to me.

    Do I write; ?She commed him on the comlink?, or do I write; ?She comed him on the comlink??

    Again, I dislike both spellings. One or two ?M?s??

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    I think two 'm's would be better. And less confusing. ;)

    Try using "She called him with her comlink."

    Dev, I know what is what by now. Comm=(communications array) intercom-(internal communications) comlink=(well...comlink)
