I’m not encouraging it, it’s actually one of my biggest pet peeves!

I can understand why given how rarely they’re used, people get confused between semi-annual and biannual - especially since things happening every ~6 months is a more common occurrence than every ~24.

In a world where possible/impossible is simple to understand, why is flammable/inflammable confusing!?

Don’t even get me started on “literally” - I want to bang my head against my desk every time I hear it misused.
