Abstract

The topic of the report is a spelling problem that has not been resolved in the last thirty years. This is the problem of spelling the adjective „saint" twice (St.St.) before the names of two saints whose names are traditionally associated and always used together.Writing this way is logically and grammatically unjustified and the reason for it is hypercorrectness.Specific examples are provided to prove that this type of spelling is incorrect.To date, there is no codified rule governing the writing of this type of word combination.A proposal is made to codify a spelling rule that governs the writing of the spelling problem under consideration.
