Actually Flammable and inflammable are opposites as they should be, but owing to massive misuse by the petroleum majors, they have miss-educated the general public who no longer know the difference.And how come destructable and indestructable are opposites, but flammable and inflammable mean the same thing?
When I was studying Marine Engineering at uni, in the combustion laboratory we were very quickly disabused of the popular usage, and were forbidden to use inflammable, the instructions were quite clear, it was either Flammable or Non Flammable.
