<br>
<br>To my recollection, Benjamin Lee Whorf was laargely responsible in
<br>introducing this niggle into American lexicography.  I wonder what a
<br>Nexis search would reveal about the use of the two forms.  Probably that
<br>_inflammable_ is used more frequently in contexts involving things that
<br>will burn.
