Why is accessible easy to misspell?
The word accessible ends -ible, and the misspelling accessable writes -able. Access stands as a word on its own and still takes -ible, which is why the stem test is a tendency.
-able and -ible sound identical, so the ending has to be learned rather than heard. -able is the commoner of the two, and usually follows a part that can stand as a word on its own.
