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!

    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
