      “imflammable” is not a word.

        It is - though it may be fair to consider it jargon. It is a word that explicitly means “Can be set aflame” as chosen by people working with hazardous materials.

          Even jargon can be found in a dictionary.

      Inflammable and flammable mean the same thing? What a country!
