#noninflammable
TIL: the opposite of flammable is famously not inflammable, but it also isn’t unflammable or nonflammable.

It’s noninflammable.

inflammable is a word that sucks

why do you have to say noninflammable/nonflammable to say something can't be on fire

接頭辞inは否定の意味が多いけど、flammableとinflammable(どちらも「燃えやすい、可燃性の」)みたいな例があるから困る。そこにinつけてる意味is何。
「燃えにくい、難燃性の」と言いたいときは
nonflammable, incombustibleあたりが確実なのかなー。

As George Carlin pointed out, there's also "noninflammable"
Flammable: an adjective meaning "capable of being set on fire."

Inflammable: an adjective meaning "capable of being set on fire."

@jannem Further into the book, the author reveals that the "gleaming walls" of the vehicle are "hollow and filled with noninflammable helium gas of great lifting power." Perhaps he had second thoughts about the vacuum floats but didn't care to go back and rewrite anything 😁
