    Same here! Evidentally (and contrary to popular belief) there is such a thing as a stupid question.

    There's also flammable and inflammable - they both mean the same. It's all about the root of the un/in prefix. In those two cases it doesn't come from the Latin negative -in, related to the English -un, it comes from a slightly different background.

    Like Dr. Nick in the Simpsons with the surgery on fire:

    "Inflammable means flammable?! Boy, what a country."
