      Irregardless and inflammable add two unnecessary letters and one unnecessary syllable. Society cannot afford this gargantuan waste!!

        The in- in inflammable means “to cause to be”. Like indebted or indent. Flammable and inflammable are actually subtly different words, they dont mean exactly the same thing although often used interchangeably now.
