Who actually wrote and edited this??

“.... The more inflammable nitrogen present the less flammable oxygen, helping reduce the possibility of fuel tank explosions.”

What the actual F@$k does that sentence say?

It means that the nitrogen content has to be high enough to prevent the oxygen from being flammable. The nitrogen percentage in our atmosphere works the same way.

A victim of 1960s+ progressive education.

“In” was dropped from “flammable” because of the educational decline back then.
