Take a verb that ends in -ce, such as "service" or "replace".  When you add the -able suffix to adjectivize that word, the result should keep the e.  Do not elide it, or the c will become hard.  "serviceable", "replaceable": good.  "servicable", "replacable": bad.

So, to summarize, to make your c hard, drop e.

That spam wasn't about Viagra, it was about prescriptivism!

So, you're now into prescription drugs?

Well, drug addict that you are, perhaps you should have some heroine!
