Commonly confused

managable

feasible
EN: 'Feasible' means possible or practical to accomplish; 'manageable' means able to be controlled or dealt with without difficulty.

Spelling tips

EN: Remember to keep the 'e' before '-able': 'manageable', not 'managable'. This follows the rule that a silent 'e' is typically retained before '-able' when the base word ends in a soft 'g' sound.
