I did some research on this and this was the best description I could find was: http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=693689 If you want to suggest others use it, it is recommended.

I think all doc mentions of 'recommendable' should be changed to 'recommended'. -- Bruce Momjian http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. +
