7. You can pronounce it either way, according to Webster
http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/applicable

Depends on whether you pronounce the accent on the first or second syllable...

9. Webster's has been all squishy and "descriptive" for quite a while.
The hard-assed "prescriptives" might also deserve a say.
