This may be chiefly an ESL phenomenon, but confusion exists concerning the use of the adjective demandable.
My attention was drawn to the topic by this email:

I am an English teacher [from Turkmenistan]. I know English pretty well; however, I confuse the words “demanding” and “demandable.” Can you help me to distinguish those words? “He has a demandable character.” Or, “he has demanding character, or characteristics?”

The OED defines demandable as “That may be demanded or claimed.” Merriam-Webster defines it as “subject to being demanded.” Here are examples of the correct usage of demandable:

A bank at the time of levy was entitled under state law to set off against the balance in the delinquent taxpayer’s checking account only those debts owed to the bank by the taxpayer which were liquidated and demandable at the time of the levy.
But the BIR argued the tax debts have become “demandable… and collectible,” as [the debtor] has been ignoring a final assessment notice sent to him.


Judicial power includes the duty of courts of justice to settle actual controversies involving rights which are legally demandable and enforceable.

A circle is a perfectly round plane figure. The fact that a circle may be drawn from beginning to end without a break makes it a powerful symbol.
The word circle occurs in many English idioms, often as a symbol of wholeness or repetition.
1. the circle of life: the cycle of reproduction and survival, from birth to death.
2. circle of hell: a place of punishment in the afterlife, from The Inferno. Dante describes nine circles or areas in which souls are punished according to the nature of their sins.
3. family circle: a theatrical term to describe the seating area farthest from the stage (aka “upper circle”). In general usage, family circle refers to a person’s closest family members. The word circle can refer to any intimate group of friends. The expression “inner circle” refers to a small influential group of people who run things in politics, business, or the like.
4. vicious circle: in logic, a vicious circle results when a false premise is followed by a true premise. In general usage, a vicious circle refers to a situation in which no progress or improvement can be made. Sometimes the expression “vicious cycle” is used instead.
5. to run circles around: to surpass with little effort. Similar term: “to run rings round.”
6. to come full circle: to complete a series of events; to come back to one’s starting place.
7. to go in circles: to repeat the same action without arriving at the desired place.
8. to square the circle: to attempt the impossible.
Other expressions draw on the verb circle, “to put a circle around something” or “to move in a circular direction.”
9. to circle the drain: to be on the way out. The image is that of the last of the water draining from a bathtub.
10. to circle the subject: to avoid saying anything specific about a topic of discussion.
11. to circle the wagons: to take a defensive position. The image is that of migrating American settlers arranging their wagons in a circle as a barricade against attacking Indians.
Note: The expression “to circle the wagons” is seen frequently in headlines and in articles about economics. The economists seem to view the American economy “as a fortress, a circle of wagons, as it were, that can be readily defined and defended” (Robert Reno, Newsday). Contemporary American Indians often find this expression offensive.
Here are some examples of these expressions gathered from the Web:
