ACCEPTABLE

The two suffixes that often get confused are -ible and -able. To help you remember how to spell Acceptable, just remember this little 'verse' - "Accept any TABLE offered to you in a restaurant." (ACCEPT - ABLE)

*Spelling Fairy's Tip for remembering the correct spelling of words: make up a small verse or 'story' to go with the word. This method is called memory by association, i.e. you make something up to connect it to whatever it is you want to recall (eg. 'Kagi' in Japanese means, 'key.' To remember this word, I associate/connect it with something similar in English, 'car key').

My classmates and I made up funny verses to help us learn to write Hiragana and Katakana in Japanese by describing what the characters looked like! It's great fun making up silly things to help us remember! Why not try it - it works!
