Is the word "inconsiderable" ever used without a "not" in front of it?

Inconceivable!

You keep using that word. I don't' think it means what you think it means.

(Congrats, you've had that said at you in accent by an actual Latino.)

Over time, it'll probably become a single word. A notinconsiderable word. Which doesn't mean quite the same thing as considerable.

Litotes is weird that way.

Google suggests that at least in recent years, the answer is "mostly as a synonym/mix-up for inconsiderate".

Only an inconsiderable number of times.

That's not inconsistent with what I've seen of late.
