Spelling of ridable vs rideable #29

Open MicFin opened 7 years ago

MicFin commented 7 years ago

In lib/equine.rb solution branch for module Ridable.

@raq929 requested a note be made to potentially change the module Ridable to module Rideable. It appears both are correct but Rideable is less likely to be misinterpreted as having the root word rid and implying the module has something to do with getting rid of something.

M-W defines rideable as "variant of RIDABLE," obliquely suggesting that, indeed, ridable is someone's preferred spelling.

The Oxford English Dictionary reverses that, defining ridable as "variant of RIDEABLE," suggesting that rideable may be the preferred spelling.
