Long words are more impressive when they're correctly spelled.

English not your native language 'Orvat'?

Ironic, given the word. ;-)

I wonder if comprehendible is in the same state of development as
'irregardless'? In other words, it is so widely used by relatively new,
or ex-colonial, English speakers who do not know the word
'comprehensible' that it is in at least the New World dictionaries, but
it still sounds wrong to more widely read English speakers.
