It’s bullshit that the opposite of “impeachable” is “unimpeachable” instead of “peachable”
It’s bullshit that “colonel” is pronounced with an R sound, but “kernel” isn’t pronounced with an “olo” sound.
It’s because the im isn’t a prefix but part of the word. (It was originally spelt empeche)
Ackshully:
Looking at the etymology, impeach is from old-french “empecher”, and “em” was an alternative form of the old-french prefix “en”.
And “empecher” is itself is derived from the late latin “impedicare”, which uses the Latin prefix “im” from which the French prefix comes. And is prefixed to “predica”.
So it it is a prefix.
Of course, the latin (and French) prefixes aren’t used to indicate opposite meaning, like “in” often is. But that’s just yet more bullshit.
It’s basically from back in the day when there were still dinosaur peaches large enough to contain a badly-behaving consul.
Ehh, at least we don’t randomly assign every noun one of three genders, and have to memorize them all in order to use the correct form of “the” when speaking about it.
Just wait until you hear about declension
Did that just happen?
Also, “gruntled” should be the opposite of “disgruntled”.
It is, check the OED.
Well I’ll be damned. I’ve used it as a word regardless, lol, but my spell check still hasn’t gotten the memo apparently.
So, would you say you’re more gruntled now?
You’re not fully gruntled till you’re zestfully gruntled.
I don’t hate it. Pretty gusting if you ask me.
I am demused. I can’t express my unappointment
