Note :
Some authors take exception to this word ,
maintaining that it is unnecessary ,
and irregular in formation .
It is ,
however ,
sanctioned by the practice of many careful writers as a most convenient substitute for the phrase to be relied upon ,
and a useful synonym for trustworthy ,
which is by preference applied to persons ,
as reliable is to things ,
such as an account ,
statement ,
or the like .
The objection that adjectives derived from neuter verbs do not admit of a passive sense is met by the citation of laughable ,
worthy of being laughed at ,
from the neuter verb to laugh ;
available ,
fit or able to be availed of ,
from the neuter verb to avail ;
dispensable ,
capable of being dispensed with ,
from the neuter verb to dispense .
Other examples might be added .
