> I have had a small discussion with fellow list member Chip 
> Barnaby on the word 'hygric'. Translating from my native 
> language, Dutch, hygric would be the correct word to indicate 
> anything 'pertaining to moisture'. However, hygric does not 
> appear in the ASHRAE terminology book, handbook of fundamentals, etc. 
> 
> So.... can anyone tell me whether this a difference between UK 
> and US English, or....? Should one use the term, or is it unknown 
> in a large part of the world? Any suggestions on synonyms?
