NOT THE OPPOSITE

English for Today by Ganiu Abisoye Bamgbose (Dr GAB)

NOT THE OPPOSITE

VALUABLE/ INVALUABLE
Be in the know that to be invaluable is not to be worthless, but to be extremely useful.
My sister is like a mother; she’s such an invaluable woman. ✔️

FLAMMABLE/INFLAMMABLE
Just like the word “flammable”, inflammable too means to be easily set on fire.
Don’t misinterpret it as meaning what cannot be set on fire when you read it behind a large vehicle.
Beware when you find the word “inflammable” behind a large truck.✔️
