Just thinking

Just thinking wondering.

What is the difference between flammable and inflammable?

Why is freight in a ship called cargo
but
freight in a railroad car is called a shipment?

And very few dogs become ophthalmologists, so it would be hard to find a doctor.

Well, most likely in normal practice, there were 20 letters in the Latin alphabet. C was used full-time for the K sound, and G became a full-time letter when C was no longer used for the “voiced” version of the sound. K and Y were used in Greek loanwords. J did not exist, since I represented two sounds (they are “long E” and consonant “Y” in English) and J came about later to represent the distinction among students and scholars.

Drinking three pounds of water to slake off the thirst from the chocolate? (That would be a little over three pints of water.)

“Flammable, inflammable . . . and non-flammable. Why are there three? Don’t you think two ought to serve the purpose? Either the thing flams, or it doesn’t flam!”

— George Carlin
FWIH, “flammable” came about because truckers thought that “inflammable” meant the opposite of what it actually meant.

And apparently, cargo has the same root etymology as the words car and cart, meaning it was originally specifically transported by wheeled vehicles.
