Best Answer

The rule which applies to vomiting is that it the base word contains two syllables (vomit) with the accent on the first syllable and the last syllable ending with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel. Contrast the word vomitwith the word occur, which is accented on the second/last syllable and which, therefore, must have the final consonant doubled before a suffix can be added. Vomitbecomes vomiting; occur becomes occurring. The secret is in the vowel-consonant ending and with the placement of the accent.
