>Random house says "scalable" is an adjective meaning "capable of being scaled
>or climbed."
"Scalable" follows the spelling rules I learned way back in elementary
school. The only time the silent "e" is kept before adding a suffix is when
it's required for pronunciation, such as keeping c's or g's soft or keeping
a vowel long. None of those exceptions apply to scalable.
Don't rely on Microsoft's spelling checker. I learned that back in Word
3.x, when it told me that the word "wave" was misspelled. It's suggested
alternate spelling? "wave."
Have Fun,
