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.

Interesting. What's your view on "judgment"?

Ugh. I've spelled it "judgement" for some time now out of stubbornness, but that horse left the barn way too long ago.
