supposably, supposingly, supposively/supposedly: Common Errors in English Usage Entry for Thursday, April 4, 2013

supposably, supposingly, supposively/supposedly 
“Supposedly” is the standard form. “Supposably” can be used only when the meaning is “capable of being supposed,” and then only in the US. You won’t get into trouble if you stick with “supposedly.”
