A quirk of the English language. Ability Vs disability
Am I the only one that finds it weird that in English: "your disability got worse" and "your ability got worse" mean the same thing even though the words disability and ability effectively means the opposite thing, ie. Are antonyms.
No, actually. Because "worse" is an important word here. Not "increased/descreased" but "got worse".
“Ability” and”disability” aren’t opposites. The ability to climb stairs would be lost given the disability of having no legs.
My ability to climb stairs would get worse as I aged. My disability would get worse if I only had one leg and lost a second.
Also inflammable is NOT the opposite of flammable.
I’ll see myself out…
Now flammable and inflammable...
