With me it's all a matter of pronunciation. Collectable sounds right. Note that it can be used as a noun or verb adjective. Again it depends on where you live. This is what Wikipedia says about it.

Spelling

Although "collectable" is the spelling listed first for the adjective by the Oxford English Dictionary and is standard spelling in British English, the dictionary observes that the "-ible" form is also valid, and has come to be common spelling in the United States.

My pronounciation treats the 'a' and the 'i' as the same sound.

'Pro-nounce-iation', or 'pro-nun-ciation'? Tomato, tomato.

Mexico speaks a different Spanish than Spain.  America speaks a different English than Britain.  Just speak how you were taught and keep on rocking in the free world  8-)

This is taking me back to the Leftenant v Lieutenant debate on the Call of Duty wiki.

And the paper I had to right on Americanisms for my English Language A-Level.

Well, it's always 'Lieutenant', but between 'left' and 'loo', I always say 'left'... Even though 'In lieu' is pronounced as 'loo' and not 'left'. I have absolutely no idea, I don't know but I don't question it.  ;D

And the paper I had to right write on Americanisms for my English Language A-Level.
Write is the right spelling/word, UK or US; in such case as right means correct, it's derived from the right hand side -- if it was wrong, it was left (behind). In lieu of write, you could have used compose even if you didn't set it to music (just don't follow machineman9 and "loo" it unless you want it flushed.
