Unfortunately, with English it's conceivable that they're both
correct. But the double 't' sounds/looks *more* correct to me.
Of course, this is coming from a native English speaker who is
generally unfamiliar with the rules of English.
On the other hand:
test --> testable?
arrest --> arrestable?
contest --> contestable?
detest --> detestable?
...
So maybe the single 't' is correct. Did that clear things up?
