How to spell inevitable
inevitable
Inevitable is spelled I-N-E-V-I-T-A-B-L-E.
Not inevitible.
Why is inevitable easy to misspell?
The word inevitable ends -able, and the misspelling inevitible writes -ible. Inevit- is not a word on its own, which usually points to -ible, and this word takes -able anyway.
-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.
