Doable is a real word now?

Language evolves constantly. If people use a word and can understand its meaning and context then it’s a perfectly cromulent option.

I don’t disagree. I’ve been saying it since like… 2005. Seeing the CBC use it feels weird though. 🤷‍♂️

@Mongostein @slykethephoxenix earliest recorded use is from the 15th century, but it's likely from the 12th.
