    What about “carnation” and “incarnation?” Does incarnation mean “not” a carnation?

    And if incarcerate means to imprison, then why doesn’t “carcerate” mean to set free?

    If one can be “disgruntled”… can one be “gruntled?”

    Ha!

    Dear HotForWords Teacher,
    That’s an AMAZING hoodie you have on :!:

    Inflammable, flammable, non-inflammable, non-flammable, … Either something flams or does not flam.

    Is this a clue that there are more dimensions within our reality :?: Or is that without our reality :?: :arrow:

    Given immunability is a bible word there are no other definitions with reason, pertains to a false prophet. This “immune” is a stone in a river that only can be heard under water and never above or effects anything above. The river always makes the sound immunability and there is nothing to be done about. It does not put out a flame or make requests to do so by any other living thing then is it really immunity a deed to give something for a proposal. I have been all day down by the water and it has told me there is “no water” unless slapped by a biting inscect “that” it was making wishes. Most people would convince their selves that it is water unless the clothes they rent drew blood with a signature? :oops:

    It’s weird that a house can burn up as it burns down.

    Great work, Marina!

    There ought to be a law. Now I can understand where, if something exceeds valuation in that it cannot be replaced no matter how much you spend on it, it could be described as ‘invaluable.’ Fine, okay then. But flammable and inflammable should not hold identical meaning, if only for the sanity of those who have to deal with the safety aspects of the materials thus described. Is it good enough just to know that these words are exceptions to a rule?

    Too bad; my personal crusade is to get rid of the word barbeque and replace it with barbecue. A losing battle, I’ll admit, but a worthy quixotic target nonetheless. I’m overbooked as it is!

    I never realized both inflammable and flammable had the same meaning. This would explain why a lot of products I use have a chinese to korean to english translation for their labels and use the word inflammable rather than the safer word flammable. I wish I had known this before I burned off my eyebrows…

    I just love the Simpsons take on it, with Doctor Nic Rivera. “Don’t worry it’s inflammable.” Then later you see the building of fire. “Inflammable means flammable, what a country.”
