Words that don’t mean what they should:
indefatigable ... "incapable of being tired out; not yielding to fatigue; untiring"
“fatigable” or fatigue-able, should be “able to be fatigued”
“de-fatigable” should be “unable to be fatigued”
“in-de-fatigable” should be “NOT unable to be fatigued” or “ABLE to be fatigued”

There's a level of facility that everyone needs to accomplish, and from there
it's a matter of deciding for yourself how important ultra-facility is to your
expression. ... I found, like Joseph Campbell said, if you just follow whatever
gives you a little joy or excitement or awe, then you're on the right track.
