Usage notes

The word comfortable has multiple common pronunciations in North American English, one of which is /ˈkʌmftəɹbl̩/, with an intrusive /ɹ/ believed to be a metathesis with the preceding /t/. (In such accents, the pronunciation of comfort usually remains /ˈkʌmfəɹt/.) The spelling comftorble is a common intuitive attempt to reconcile the disparate pronunciations of comfort and the same stem in comfortable.
