Why does "corridor" have one O and "door" have two?

Is this real life?
Just doesn't make sense.
 
You're pronouncing it wrong!
 
Am I? Am I though?

Of course, now I realise they both have two Os. But you know what I mean.
 
Maybe it used to be prounced another way but it changed over the years and the spelling stayed. Or maybe the second (third) O was dropped in an atempt to appease americans who were complaining about being confused by two many of them.
 
That would make sense. Americans like changing things and having sex with ducks.
 
Prounced the "dor" part like you would pronounce it in "Mordor". It sounds cool.
 
Rolling the R? They always sounded like a gruff Scottish detective proclaiming there'd been a MUUURRRDDURRRR!
 
Aye laddie!
