    ah the english language - what a wonderful thing (I would hate to have to learn it as a second language!)

    habitable - inhabitable (opposite)

    humane - inhumane (opposite)

    flammable - inflammable - the bloody same!

    Oh wow those were good!

    While reading them I realized just how easy it was for me to pronounce and interpret what was going on without even thinking about it. It would be torture for those who are learning English though, like the one with "does" and "number", it took me a second to put them in the right context.

    - But my first language is English, nevertheless.

    The thing is I actually read the first few without realising what was funny - we're so used to it.

    Number 9 doesn't really work for me - I would say "dived", but the others are superb!

    When I read all of those, I actually read them properly, first time round, except for number 18.

    Very good though.
