"useable" and "unuseable" are accepted English spellings (less common variants of usable / unusable), so they should not be flagged as typos in the default dictionary.

Leave reuseable->reusable in place; that form is not an accepted variant.

Fixes #2041

I would recommend having a look at the OED and the English Speller Database (ESDB) first.
