Midnight Musings

I'm in one of those moods, again. The words are getting to me. Why does invaluable mean more valuable than just valuable? Inaudible means less audible. Inconspicuous is the opposite of conspicuous. Immovable means something that can't be moved. But important doesn't mean "not portant", does it? And don't even get me started again on the geniuses who not only decided to invent the word "unthaw" but to have it mean the same thing as thaw!!! If thaw is a synonym for defrost, shouldn't unthaw mean to re-freeze?? This wasn't fully thought out. It grates.

On the other hand, I really like it when people think the number after six is pronounced "sebm" and the number after nine sounds like "teeun".
