Mark,

Check subbookkeeper in a search on google.com.  You'll find an article or
two proclaiming its validity.  An excerpt that may explain your dictionary
"finding" is below:

"SUBBOOKKEEPER is the only word with four pairs of double letters in a row.
This word is in W2, but not W3."

According to Misters Merriam and Webster, subbookkeeper ain't a word.

Barry,


I believe that the word "subbookkeeper" is the only English word with four
pairs of double letters in a row!
