Confrontable

[Stephen Goranson]

A subscriber mentions "comfrontable", which Google reports having found
5980 hits for as an obvious variation on "comfortable". Can anyone suggest
how this curious transition might have come about?

Some apparently associate confrontable with approachable and presentable, which
perhaps played some part.
