ert\èrt\adj
1:able to move
2:containing active properties <chemically~>
~ert-ness n

This is what should appear in Merriam-Webster's dictionary, but it does not. It makes sense to me and many others who have heard of my quest. If something can be inert, shouldn't it also be able to be ert? Not according to the publishers of the dictionary. And so it has become my quest to right this injustice in our language.
