Why is it that when you transport something by car it is called shipment, but when you transport something by ship it's called cargo?

If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

If a firefighter fights fire and a crime fighter fights crime, what does a freedom fighter fight?

Is it OK to use the AM radio after noon?

If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

Why is abbreviated such a long word?

Hm. This needs souring. Does it need souring? Yes, it does. It shalt be His Divine Pleasure to do His Divine best.  >:(

It's cargo in a car also. And shipment on a ship. The words mean different things, do they not? Cargo is basically stuff being moved from place to place by some mode of transport. A shipment is specific stuff going to a recipient regardless of whether it's currently in freight. Yes?

QuoteIf con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?
Is contract (Employment, car sales, what have you) the opposite of protract (make longer)?

Also, anti- is often a better prefix for the opposite of pro.

QuoteIf a firefighter fights fire and a crime fighter fights crime, what does a freedom fighter fight?
Typically? Freedom. Well, someone else's freedom.

QuoteIs it OK to use the AM radio after noon?
Yes, Amplitude Modulation does not care about the time of day. I've worked with digital information transfer using AM, by the way. Fascinating stuff.

QuoteIf corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?
Oil-oil, I suspect... At least partly. What isn't made of that in this day and age?

If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?
They can be quizzical as well.

QuoteWhy is abbreviated such a long word?
Means "made more brief." That's even longer.

QuoteWhy are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
Keep their contents separated by thin walls.
