The term inflammable is much older, and refers to property which could cause something to become inflamed, i.e. alight.

However, the term flammable has been brought into use more recently - often for use in warning signs - where it was feared that the latin prefix in- would be mistaken for the modern English negative prefixes non-/un-, thus suggesting that the substance was non-combustable.

Both are now in common usage.

This is not even a question. At least the last question - whilst nonsensical - was in the correct grammatical form.

Have you been skipping grammar class?

Sorry, that wasn't a question for you. I was attempting to answer this one:

Although I admit my knowledge of human anatomy is limited, a quick scan through my library suggest that the terms seem to be used interchangeably in many cases.

We could also look from a linguistic point of view:

Cubital = relating to the Forearm/Elbow,
Fossa = Depression,Indentation (usually in bone),
Ante = Preceding, Before

Therefore, the wording of Antecubital Fossa suggests that it is the depressed area before the elbow/forearm. Despite the additional prefix, this sounds similar in meaning to cubital fossa.

When music stimulates you on an emotional level, the release of chemicals into the brain triggers a response from the hypothalamus. This area of the brain controls various functions including the tightening of the skin that causes 'goose bumps'.

It is not fully understood why such physical reactions occur from emotional responses. One theory is that it is the result of an evolutionary trait encouraging closeness in family units, causing them to desire warmth/physical-proximity when hearing an emotive sound (e.g. the fearful cry of their young).

To gain advantage over each other; to cover their own mistakes or to make themselves look better; because lies are sometimes easier or less hurtful than the truth; because they are lying to themselves.

perkalerk215 wrote: is it better to take a bath or a shower?

It depends what outcome you desire. Showers are probably more hygenic, baths have a better relaxant effect on your muscles.

perkalerk215 wrote: what should i do tomorrow?

Fly a kite.

perkalerk215 wrote: why is it almost impossible to always have a filled ice tray?

Because you keep using all of the ice without replacing it.

Ahhhhh, the common Woodlouse. Usually they are drawn to dark, damp and warm places. Therefore, they usually evade the view of humans. However, overturn some large rocks in your garden, and your are likely to find some. The intrepid few that make it into the human domain will probably return to such pplaces, if they escape with their lives.
