I think so too. A house can burn and when the fire is put out in time it will not burn down.
When a cigar is getting towards its end it is almost burned up.
When a person has lost all taste of working you call it a burn out. ( We call it the person is burned up )

Only Jeeves would ask: "Is the alarm armed?" Ordinary people ask: "Is the alarm on?"

And so 'For be fire sal berne vup sinful man pat hap misdo' laugh
