[riena-dev] AW: closable vs. closeable

["Campo, Christian" <Christian.Campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think if you google "isCloseable" and "isClosable" you can find both usecases in java and other languages.....

So lets fight this out :-) with Doodle

Betreff: [riena-dev] AW: closable vs. closeable

Just to extend the research list:
- Merriam Webster also mentions "closeable" with an "e" => http://east.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/closeable
- I seached on http://www.krugle.org for closeable - 2804 matching files, closable - 2468 matching files

Anyway, fact is (probably):
- closable - is the correct english word - but
- closeable - is the idiomatic term in programming languages (mostly Java I guess)

So, my favorite spelling is,  uhm, .. eh, or is it my favourite spelling - you see with or without "u"?

Comme on, I think everbody immediatly understands both!

> Hello everyone,
>
> while implementing closable SubModules I stumbled upon two different
> ways the word clos(e)able is written in the Riena code. The Extension
> Points and the NavigationNodes have the version without 'e' and all
> Controllers etc. with an 'e'.
>
> After doing some research, the following information unfolded:
> - two native speakers would write it without 'e'
> - most online dictionaries including the Oxford dict only know
> 'closable'
> - unfortunately Java has the interface 'Closeable'
>
> So the question is: what is your favorite spelling? I think we should
> at least try to have one common way.
>
> Btw. my favorite is 'closable'.
