[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3678575, member: 44288"] I agree. There are several articles I'm currently reading about Physics being explained poorly using words, especially English. As I stated above the context of the word negligible used you can construe it to mean a negative but it is closer to zero than either positive or negative.
