I don't understand why "inflammable" and "flammable" mean the same thing (see: here for a definition). Thanks to Dictionary.com, I've been informed that "inflammable" predates "flammable" by about 200 years. Apparently they started using "flammable" because people were getting confused and thinking that "inflammable" meant noncombustible. Imagine!
Little things really bother me, haha.
