# the word inevitable is strange
because there isn't a corresponding word 'evitable' of which inevitable would be the opposite... I don't trust it.

Also - after JayHay went to all the effort of linking it, it's a little shabby to steal his work, splash white on it and post it unlinked.

# yes
A bit like Flammable and inflammable, but in a different way...

# Well.
evitable

Although just because a word is in a dictionary, doesn't make it a 'real' word.

# What's odd is that
malignant and benign are used a lot these days, but benignant and malign aren't used much at all.
Can you explain that with your Tascali links? Can you? No. No you can't.
