Why do the words flammable and inflammable both mean the same thing? (Or at least I think they do!)

This is very wrong and whoever is in charge of the language needs to sort it out.

I’m on the train. I just laughed so loud at the clementine/mandarine/satsuma etc bit that I was shot a look. The ferocity of a late night train quiet carriage!

People can be quite militant in the quiet carriage. You expect them to all be sweet, shy, tender introverts but they often seem very angry at the tiniest of noises. I'm still glad they exist though. And sorry for making you laugh! (Obviously I'm not sorry, I'm thrilled.)

My husband claims that a pony is a completely different thing to a horse. I thought it was just a small horse.

But... but... but... it is a small horse, isn't it?! Your husband must be wrong.
