Eatable

Posted in Uncategorized at 4:15 pm by trueepicure

Okay, the word eatable was cute when Willy Wonka used it, but it’s not so cute any more, now that I keep hearing people use it. It sounds like horrible English.

Then I discovered that the word eatable is in the dictionary as an adjective and a noun. I stand corrected. (But I still think it sounds goofy.)

    Jeez, I thought Willy was just being weird. Eatable doesn’t sound like a real word.
