Damn it, Internet

Palpable means able to be squeezed, or detectable by touch, such as a palpable cyst; or figuratively, easily perceived though intangible, and typically unpleasant, such as an atmosphere of palpable terror.

Palatable means acceptable -- generally, no better than acceptable -- to the taste, or to the sensibilities, as in a palatable entertainment for fans.

For fuck's sake.
