Hey Cal - yep, you're right. There's a soft-spot with this 'noun-ing' of verbs and adjectives, that I've gone back and forth about, a few times.
The problem is not the conjugation, but that some percentage of these just sound silly, and it's hard to machine-learn which ones.
You can see we kept the +'ness' adjective conjugation here, which produces some strangeness itself.

I think the verb+'ability' form may be the same. Browse through our verb-list and try to guess which percent are good-sounding, like 'walkability', and what percent are awkward-enough to be wrong, like 'backfire', 'baffle'. I don't know, It's a odd problem.

That said, maybe the root lookup should quietly generate these, in order to grab the true-positives, like 'palatability'. It wouldn't be hard, as I think it is a pretty-simple conjugation.

Maybe it would help to find, or generate some data, on how big of a problem this is. If there are only 100 cases, we could hard-code them. If it effects half of verbs, maybe we could look at their suffixes for patterns. Otherwise, if verb+'ability' is okay 90%, I can just add it in.

Would love some advice, or help
cheers

from compromise.
