Flammable vs. inflammable

As you are often making this change, I feel like it needs to be discussed. Both are correct, but for non-native speakers, inflammable could sound as an opposite of flammable. Therefore, there is an agreement in chemical literature (see here, for example) - whenever it relates to hazard, use flammable to avoid any chance of confusion. Regards.

To my ear, combustible implies it can burn, whereas the purpose of "flammable" is to accentuate that it ignites easily. Materialscientist (talk) 04:52, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
