They don't. Or at least they don't in "English". Only in "American".
"Inflammable" is an English word.
"Flammable" is an American word for those that can't figure out that "in-" means "leading into" rather than "not".
And there is really no reason - at least between adults - for the smarmy comments (not just you BBS, but the others as well).
