Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:
Wiktionary and dictionary.com see 'writeable' as an alternate spelling of 'writable', while merriam-webster.com does not. Neither of the former say anything about American versus British usage. I wonder if the first two are rubber-stamping what used to be a misspelling. Or maybe the unabridged merriam-webster behind a paywall has it as a rare variant (but if so, I would expect mention in the 'writable' entry. If it is British, it should be changed. If it is misleading, ditto. ---------- nosy: +terry.reedy _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue38040> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
