Yea, right. In a reference call a friend of mine was told "You will be very lucky if you get Jack to work for you" and this was interpreted as a put-down of the highest (worst... there goes that precision again) calibre.

...flammable and inflammable mean the same thing
...a person might be ineffable but they cannot be effable yet might be f-able.
