Please remove

Two words that I hate and would like to be removed from the English language - no all languages:

Main Entry: sus·cep·ti·ble
Pronunciation: s&-'sep-t&-b&l
Function: adjective
Etymology: Late Latin susceptibilis, from Latin susceptus, past participle of suscipere to take up, admit, from sub-, sus- up + capere to take
1 : capable of submitting to an action, process, or operation susceptible to proof
2 : open, subject, or unresistant to some stimulus, influence, or agency
3 : IMPRESSIONABLE, RESPONSIVE

The second is 'encourageable' which isn't really a word, so here's the closest thing:

Main Entry: en·cour·age
Pronunciation: in-'k&r-ij, -'k&-rij, en-
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): -aged; -ag·ing
Etymology: Middle English encoragen, from Middle French encoragier, from Old French, from en- + corage courage
1 : to inspire with courage, spirit, or hope : HEARTEN
2 : to spur on : STIMULATE
3 : to give help or patronage to : FOSTER
