cause invaluable is like, so valuable that there's no way a particular value can be assosciated with it? like, priceless?

but legit though it's just a property of semantic drift in the same way 'literally' means the both 'really' and 'really'. wait shit

its because 'literally' is used as a hyperbole so things that arnt literal are hyped up to be



flammable, inflammable etc
