Even worse, they’re doing analytics without opt-in, or providing a way to use the package without analytics.

This is clearly inacceptable.

All languages have their own idiosyncrasies, not just English. I'm a native speaker of 2 different languages and I find that there is still more to learn about them via small mistakes that I make.

I'm aware this is a reference, but for people who didn't know this already, inflammable is like the word inflamed, which doesn't mean "not in flames".

I'm not sure what country you are talking about. Inflammable means the same in every english-speaking country.

The commenter was making a comical reference to Yakov Smirnoff:
