- huhtenberg 14y agoInteresting. Treble is favored in a few specific contexts (in the game of darts, for instance), but triple is generally favored everywhere else. Even in British English, where treble is most common, triple appears approximately three times for every instance of treble. In American English, treble is almost unheard of except in relation to sound and music. From here - http://grammarist.com/usage/triple-treble http://grammarist.com/usage/triple-treble
- ktizo 14y agoI use both, often without noticing. I think I tend to be more likely to use treble or trebled at the end of sentence and triple or tripled in the middle of one. Note, I am not claiming this as any sort of sensible usage, am just commenting on how I tend to use the words. My pronunciation of words like grass or bath is also similarly scattered. This confuses folk when they try and work out what class background I am from, which is something of an obsession for many people here in the UK.
