Inflammable and flammable both mean 'capable of being set on fire' or 'easily set on fire', so they're really the same, rather than similar, in meaning. This sense equivalence is confirmed by dictionaries, though some writers insist that flammable means 'combustible' and inflammable means 'explosive'.
Inflammable dates from the early 17th century. Originally its opposite was noninflammable, but now we use the easier term nonflammable.

Because it's English - the language of 100 rules and 1000 exceptions. Gotta love it.

Start by looking at your dictionary and you will find the actual meaning of both words! When you come to purchacing your furniture or clothes you might be surprised to learn the diference.

It doesn't...Flammable means get the hell out of the way with that...Inflammable means you don't have anything to worry about...
