Why do flammable and inflammable have the same definition?

Spoiler:
the bit of explanation is from wiktionary

Have you seen this: Inflammable is traditionally used to mean "capable of burning" (compare inflame meaning "set on fire"); the term flammable is a more recent back-formation. Recently, comparison with other words where in- means "not" (like inedible and inaccurate) has led to inflammable being used to mean "not flammable". Where confusion might arise, especially where this may be a safety hazard, one may prefer to use flammable or nonflammable, respectively. Is this not a sensible notion?

Isn't Onomatopoeia a Batman villain who verbally speaks sounds (such as saying "bang" was he fires a gun)?

Isn't it true that what DNSB said is correct and I was wrong (although he has gone up against Batman per Wikipedia)?

Why would anyone think so? Should not onomatopoeia be spelled onomatopœia? Or am I being too pedantic?

Which of onomatopoeia, onomatopeia or onomatopœia is your personal preference?

Wouldn't it be impractical to spell it "onomatopœia" since that is not on the standard QWERTY keyboard. Didn't I have the same problem with the division symbol (÷) since it is not on the standard QWERTY keyboard (I figured out that you had to enter Alt-0247 on the numeric keypad)?

Didn't my question actually confirm your credibility since I was partially wrong (per Wikipedia onomatooeia was an enemy of both Green Arrow and Batman) and you were completely right (he started off as a Green Arrow villain)?

Can a credenza count?
*expressively meaning only at the desk mobile/forniture

Quote:
Originally in Italian the name meant belief or trust (etymologically connected to the English word "credence").

Was the credenza manufactured by Henry Holland or Thomas Sheraton?
