ambiguity
edit- We say that F is a Ti-field if any such system, of degrees d1, ..., dm has a common non-zero solution whenever[...etc...]
Does this mean "[...]if there is any system of degrees that has a common non-zero solution whenever[...etc...]", or does it mean "[...]if it is the case that _any_ such system, no matter which one, has a common non-zero solution whenever[...etc...]"? A reasonable person might read it either way. In the first case, changing "any" to "some" would resolve the ambiguity; in the second case, changing "any" to "every" would do it. "Any" is sometimes a hazardous word. I've changed it to "every" in the article. Michael Hardy (talk) 20:17, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
