*** you forgot the caret - ^ - to be placed above the ``a'', i.e., Le Ch\^atelier - and the expression includes principle, not ``priniple.''

finally, the word ``chevrolet'' is a town in kentucky, a brand-name from general motors, and otherwise is not actually a word or term in French or English: vous vous trompez...\`a bient\^ot, chimiste***

> I also likely deviated from fact by calling his Principle "centuries old". More accurately, he first published expressions of the priniple some 12 decades ago.
