And that's the original word.
This is a word that's changing pretty rapidly because nobody's pushing back against it. No one shouts "you're stupid and wrong" at people who use the word "flammable" instead of "inflammable". Every sensible person can recognize that "flammable" is the clearer version of the word, and being clear is important in this case, so who cares what the word used to be.
So as opposed to cases where people get angry about language changing, this is a case to get angry that language hasn't completely changed yet.
