Incomparable vs. uncomparable

Two or more things that can’t be compared with each other are uncomparable. Something that is so good that it is beyond comparison is incomparable. Some dictionaries don’t list uncomparable, and your spell-check may catch it, but it’s a perfectly good word. It fills a useful role not filled by incomparable

The two words are usually pronounced similarly—in-COM-parable and un-COM-parable—though uncomparable is sometimes pronounced un-cum-PAIR-uhble.
