词组 | collectable, collectible |
释义 | collectable, collectible Janis 1984 reports a tendency toward differentiation between these spellings. He says that collectable is being used more as an adjective in relation to bills, while collectible is being used as a noun for things like glassware, furniture, political campaign buttons, and posters that are collected. Our evidence does not corroborate his observation. We find that both collectible and collectable are used as nouns for items to be collected, with collectible the more frequent spelling. We find both spellings used for the adjective, again with collectible somewhat more frequent. You can use whichever spelling you prefer. |
