Comprable

A phonetic spelling of the word comparable (Pronounced "Com-parable" with the letter "a" being silenced)

Used to describe something as "sufficiently similar" or an "adequate/suitable replacement". This is different to comparable which is broadly used to indicate similarities between things.

Waiter: I'm afraid we don't have any salmon left, would a beef dish be comparable?
Customer: Well, they are comparable in that they are both food, but they aren't comprable as they aren't sufficiently similar like a cod dish.

Comprable

A fake word people ironically use to sound smart when they should be using the oh so familiar comparable. Also British drawl when pronouncing comparable sounds like comprable but it is not a new word.

comprable

In Spanish, it means buyable or "may/can be bought". In English, it's a misspelling of the word "comparable", due to the fact that the first "a" is silent in the most common of multiple widely accepted pronunciations. Some people claim it's a fake word that people ironically use to sound smart, but the real irony is that people who make that claim are trying to sound smart when they don't know what they're talking about. It's not a fake word, it's a phonetic misspelling of a real word.

Saying that "comprable" is a fake word is comparable to saying that "diffrence" is a fake word.
