My simple GitHub project went viral

I have had people getting almost violent arguingit is scrapping and not scraping. Especially from Asia and East Europe ( I have done 1000s of scraping projects over the past 20+ years, working with people all over the earth ).

It is fairly normal to have people on Fivver and Upwork tell you 'I can make the web scrapper for u' when discussing a project.

I'm a native English speaker but I have to admit that the spelling difference is not logical. Scrapping is fine but scraping should really be "scraeping" to make it's pronunciation clearer.

Vowel-consonant-vowel often elongates the first vowel: bate, gene, line, tone, puma. A second consonant usually breaks the elongation: batter, gentoo, linnet, tonne, pummel. (There are plenty of exceptions.)

It's entirely consistent with the regular rules of spelling and vowel length. Compare taping vs. tapping.

My point isn't that it does not adhere to the rule, but rather that the rule in this case was comparatively less intuitive.
