Prefer -able over -eable
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The grammar rule is that the final silent "e" of the root verb is dropped,
except for root verbs ending in "ce" and "ge".

The only exceptions are:
	cachable->cacheable
	gatable->gateable
The Google Ngram Viewer shows overwhelming use of cacheable and gateable
in practice.
