Difference between credible and creditable...
A story is credible--it can be believed.
A performance is creditable--it is worthy of esteem, it is
deserving of praise.
These two words come from the same Latin word credo, to
trust.
Look at the below mentioned examples:
Your account on what happened yesterday is far from
credible.
He gave a credible account of his actions.
Her actions are not very creditable; though I suppose she
comes from a respectable family and is well-bred.
The book is a creditable attempt to make Nichiren Buddhism
understandable to just anyone.
The woman conducted the defense in a creditable manner, and
the judge praised him highly.
