IN- CONSISTENT TERMS? (#1)
1. Adding the prefix "IN" to a word usually creates a new word that's the opposite of the original - (capable - incapable, decisive - indecisive). But can you think of two common adjectives whose meanings remain basically unchanged when preceded by IN?
2. Can you think of a common verb whose meaning stays the same when preceded by UN?
Answers:
1. The words are VALUABLE and FLAMMABLE.
In common usage, they are used interchangeably with INVALUABLE and INFLAMMABLE.
2. THAW
THAW and UNTHAW can be used interchangeablly.
