[Edu-sig] A footnote in time saves nine

I often talk about “relative primes” i.e. two numbers with no factors in
common.

At some point, a poster to sci.math took me to task for proffering
“relative primes” as a term, since the regular usage is “relatively prime.”
Two numbers are “relatively prime” not “relative primes.”

Yeah, sci.math is like that.  :-D
