Hi Shellb,
Here's a bit of Frenchy info to add to the confusing pile...
In French we say inflammable when it can catch fire
..........and
ininflammable when it can't.
In the second case, the first "in" is pronounced differently than the second "in." The first is pronounced as "een" the second like the "a" in the word "bane".
