additive edit

  1. (mathematics) Proper to be added; positive; -- opposed to subtractive.

I have no idea what this means. Anyone?​—msh210 (talk) 20:45, 2 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

I think it means 'suitable to be added', but like you say, hard to tell. I assume not added by a native English speaker. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:17, 3 February 2011 (UTC)Reply
