People always seem strangely surprised when Americans fail to make sense, yet I don't see how anything else could be the expected outcome when we use a language as ironic and ridiculous as English. We use the word "stutter" even though those who have one can't say it, we have the ludicrous construction of the lexeme "monosylabically," and the World Wide Web is three-syllable term with a nine-syllable "abbreviation."

But the one that really cheeses my cracker is the fact that "flamable" and "inflamable" mean exactly the same freaking thing. I don't see why I should be minus 1.6 eyebrows just because some idiots in the lexicon department decided to shoot some hooch while writing the Webster's Guide To How To Talk Enlish Good. Stupid language.
