Kim: There is a section in a document that I'm translating that involves a little more chemistry than I'm used to, or with which I'm familiar. This is why I do a lot of research, and ask experts to verify my accuracy (at least, this is what I was trained to do in graduate school). In looking at my question about "inerter", I realize now that it was kind of a stupid question, and the answer was rather obvious, but it's late, and I'm tired, and what can I say, I'm human.
