In that line above that I put in red, I took the liberty of changing a word that was simply
wrong. In chemistry, sublimation is the conversion of a solid to a vapor without going through
a liquid stage. Commonest example, in very cold weather icicles slowly decrease in size, even
though temperature remains far below freezing point.
So where my dictionary had "sublimation" I changed it to "evaporation."
