Although it's worth mentioning, dissolvable is not a word, although soluble is.

It doesn't mean capable of dissolving?

Oh, I fully imagine that's what they mean.

Which is why they meant soluble.

It's a word.

Dissolvable is poor English. It may be a word, but it's better to say soluble.

Ex. "Sugar is soluble in water." is better than "Sugar is dissolvable in water."

And just so it's not a solely grammar/style post:

Says who?

I'm in Organic Chemistry 2 and I've roomed with a chemistry/physics double major. I've never heard anyone have a problem with dissolvable before until now.

Just because two words mean exactly the same thing doesn't mean that one's bad.

i.e. Flammable, inflammable

This. It's English in the sense "drinkable" is English. As in, you'll only say it if you don't know potable is the pre-existing go-to word. It only works out, because it's easy to parse based on common knowledge of English morphology.

Either way, to someone who knows the word, "soluble," it just makes you look like you don't know how to use a thesaurus.

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

This, on the other hand, is a prefectly grammatical English sentence.

Although I prefer the syntactically correct, but semantically nonsensical, "Colorless green ideas sleep furiously."

Both of these got me, I laughed really hard.

Or maybe you'd say "drinkable" because it doesn't make you sound obnoxious.

just maybe

IMO it just makes you look annoying if you try to correct everyone.

By the way, dissolvable is perfectly fine English. As was mentioned, the mere fact that a word has a synonym does not mean that one of them is "better English". There are cases, such as when attempting to avoid repetition in an essay for stylistic purposes, that dissolvable would be PREFERABLE to soluable.

The same goes for "drinkable". Perfectly fine word. I think you're just giving lessons on how to be pedantic more than how to use good English.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

in chemistry, to my understanding, salts, ions, and compounds are never really considered as dissolvable in solution. its always whether they are soluble.

however, when it comes to sperm being in water pipes, i think either word is fine. but the subject itself is just a big troll by phoot probably, so i don't really care.

i wish i had a picture to post though. i'd like to have something funny. cause this thread gives me happy times.

Yup. If a native speaker can understand it, then it is for all intents and purposes, an English word. As long as the lexical entry does not provide confusion and especially if one can immediately glean its meaning, then it may as well be a word. It might not show up in the dictionary, but it speaks to the productivity of the English language.

Can I just ask that it be a rule to not use pictures when you're quoting someone? I hate having to scroll through the same pictures that I kinda laughed at inside when one person feels like quoting the giant list again.

It's not bad English, but I'll be ****ed if it doesn't sound awkward to me.
