For example, “flammable” and “inflammable” both describe an object that can easily catch on fire. I can also think of “ceased” and “deceased”, both of which can mean someone or something has been brought to an end.
edit: Some people are including words that can also mean its opposite (like sanction or table), those are cool too! The more weird words, the better!
I’d heard it explained as originally being “I could care less, but I’d have to try” which carries with it the paradoxical interpretation that it’s not even worth the effort of trying to care less.
That sounds like a post-hoc rationalisation. I don’t believe anyone said that “full version” before saying the wrong version
Totally is, but I need to believe thats the intent or I’ll suffer a totally pointless and avoidable aneurysm eventually
