I just watched a channel 6 news report where the announcer warned the public that oxygen is "HIGHLY FLAMMABLE". Why do news agencies, and people, insist on repeating that lie. Oxygen IS NOT FLAMMABLE!!! It IS necessary for OTHER things to burn, and in high concentrations, OTHER THINGS will burn hotter and faster. I have even seen a sign in a hospital: "warning, flammable oxygen in use". Say what? There is NO SUCH THING AS FLAMMABLE OXYGEN! OK, rant over.
