The use of double "t" in the word "bitten" follows the rule in English where a short vowel sound before a consonant is usually doubled when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel. In this case, the short vowel sound in "bite" is doubled before adding the "-en" suffix to maintain pronunciation clarity.
