n Within these twenty years this word has shiftedits accent from the second to the first syllabic.There are now few polite speakers who do not pro-nounce it acceptable ; and it is much to be regret-ted that this pronunciation is become so general ;for where consonants of so different an organ as pand t are near the eml of a word, the word is pro-nounced with much more difficulty when the accentis removed higher than when it is arrested by theseletters; for, in this case, the force which accom-panies the accent facilitates the organs in theirtransition from the formation of the one letter tothe other. As nature, therefore, directs us to placethese consonants in all woids ending in active,ective, ictive, active, and active; actible, cctible,octible, and uctible; so we ought to listen to thesame voice in pronouncing acceptable, susceptible,corruptible, with the accent on the second syllable.See Commendable.
