So it IS a word!!!!!  :P

Maybe, but that's still not what Gerard is doing; that's nuts and bolts
stuff. Gerard is adapting R1/2 to the English world.

The best description for what he does is co-writing. It's a case of 
taking the original and totally rescripting it into english so that it
has the same OVERALL meaning as before, but not neccesarily the same literal
meaning.

P-word.
