er's or's ible's and able's

I never get them right.

Apparently there isn't even such a word as accessor, or accesser.. I tend to go with the O's.

  I'm with you on this - I shoot for the o's, too.
  
  They somehow seem more dominating and powerful than the e's. I think it's because of the way I'd say the word if I were a Star Trek alien vs. a total pansy.
  
  Total pansy (accesser): ak-sess-ur
  
  Star Trek alien (accessor): ak-SESS-or

  That 'OR' sound really is intimidating and powerful.. it can make basic arithmetic sound tough.
