Usage estimable/estimatable (originally untitled section)
[edit]The correct word for something that can be estimated is 'estimatable' see p.224 Fowler's Concise Dictionary of Modern English Usage The word 'estimable' means something that is worthy of esteem. Miriam-Webster on-line has got it wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BWernham (talk • contribs) 11:39, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
So has the use of "estimatable" vs. "estimable" been decided now? The article is inconsistent: where as in the first paragraph "estimable" is used, "estimatable" is used below (and the anchor link is broken!). I have no access to Fowler's Concise Dictionary, and the only reference (1.) this article points to uses "estimable". --Sz (talk) 13:44, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
INVESTE?
[edit]Who decided that Bill Wake's mnemonic should now have an extra letter added to it and invented INVESTE? — Preceding unsigned comment added by PureCaffeine (talk • contribs) 21:31, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
"Fun to code"? (originally untitled section)
[edit]In the value part, does it make sense to say that the non-valuable code is fun to code? I'm not doubting the accuracy, but I feel like there is a better, more professional word to describe it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sawerchessread (talk • contribs) 22:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
