| Jul 24, 2016 at 9:09 | comment | added | JavaLatte | In my opinion, acceptable is not a gradable adjective; something is either acceptable or it is not. If you were to change the adjective to something that is gradeable, for example useful, the three sentences would have the same meaning. Here is a link that discusses this: english.stackexchange.com/questions/16150/… | |
