Why people write NOTICABLE
Some letters are barely said, or not said at all, in everyday speech (the N in government, the P in pumpkin), so they drop out when the word is written as it sounds.
Spell the word out loud the slow way, exaggerating every letter ("govern-ment", "pump-kin"), and the missing letter comes back.
