Ok, so what is the difference between "practical" and "practicable" |
|
As far as I've understood it, "practicable" is more implementation focused.

3. That's pretty much it. |
|
Practical tends to mean something more like "plausible", or "reasonable".
Practicable tends to mean "doable", or "possible".
It's a tiny distinction, but it does matter at times.
