Interesting observation. The Brits would say there is no "el" but Americn English would say there is. It just looked wrong to me. I always spelled it "cancelled" and I made "A"s in English/Language Arts

"So, which is correct: canceled or cancelled? Well, both are! Canceled is typically preferred in American English while cancelled is the standard in British English. Plus, it’s OK to use cancelled in the US, too."

I grew up spelling it “cancelled”, but I am old. There are some other words, e.g., “catalogue” vs. “catlog”.
