Language Usage

Among other things, James J. Kilpatrick addresses usage issues, making him one of my favorite Universal Press Syndicate columnists. A recent column discusses whether ravel or unravel is the correct term for something that is coming apart. It's a question that has always fascinated me, because every recognized authority indicates that the words are interchangeable.

There are other instances. Did you know that flammable and inflammable both mean capable of burning; combustible? What about irregardless? Did you know that there is no such word - in proper usage?

Makes me want to get a better dictionary. How about you?
