In kig.po there are some recently added terms concerning B=C3=A9zier curves= . More
precisely, "Quadric" and "Cubic" B=C3=A9zier curves are= mentioned. I think the word
"Quadric" is an error and should be "Quadratic" instead= , as you can see in
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Exami= nation_of_cases.

A "quadric" is a far more general mathematical object, namely an = hypersurface
defined as the loci of zeros of a quadratic polynomial. Nothing closely rel= ated
to B=C3=A9zier curves.

I would use Quadratic too.
