Grammar Ease #3: Antonym Prefixes

Here is a very common problem with English, even native speakers sometimes are confused.

Antonym of expensive: inexpensive
Antonym of able: unable
Antonym of possible: impossible
Antonym of advantage: disadvantage
Antonym of religious : non-religious
Antonym of virus: anti-virus

Wouldn't be life easier with a standard prefix?
