Homework spelling help!

[Funko]

I don't think I am unreasonable!

Is devidable a word? An actual word?

It is divisible isn't it???

This is on my sons spellings homework (year 6) where he has to write a sentence to include the word.

And yes I googled to see if I'm crap at English first and I still think I'm right!

[mirokarikovo]

divisible is a word.
dividable isn't.

He should write a sentence using divisible and submit it along with a pic/scan of the relevant page of the dictionary.

[CecilyP]

Did he, perhaps, copy it down wrong?

[Feyerefleye]

The homework sentence should be:

"Devidable is not a word in the Oxford English Dictionary."

[DontTouchTheMoustache]

Divisible and dividable are both words with different meanings. Devidable is not but chances are he copied it wrong?

[Funko]

Nope he definitely didn't copy it down wrong! It's on the printed homework sheet!

I agree with that sentence that he should write on his homework!!! Gah!

[Seryph]

Yeah, definitely not a word. Have a chat with the teacher tomorrow.

[pudcat]

He should write "Devidable is not a word in the Oxford English Dictionary, but dividable and divisible are."

[Nirvanababy]

YABU.
It's obviously a typo. I wouldn't make a fuss. Just do the homework

[MsAdorabelleDearheartVonLipwig]

Oh please let him write pudcat's version and tell us what the teacher said.
