i think this is etymologically vacuous, as it contains the interfix -t- which changes all Latin verbs into -āre verbs. Therefore this should just be inventable. People using this spelling might think they are more clever than the rest of us but they are wrong. Soap 20:13, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

@Soap: You're just saying "I don't like it": you are the one trying to be cleverer with your Latin. It may well be used by semi-literates who have seen "incredible" and "edible" and assume that "-ible" is the norm. Equinox 20:14, 18 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
