I would use Quadratic too.

In kig.po there are some recently added terms concerning Bézier curves. More<br>
precisely, &quot;Quadric&quot; and &quot;Cubic&quot; Bézier curves are mentioned. I \
think the word<br> &quot;Quadric&quot; is an error and should be \
&quot;Quadratic&quot; instead, as you can see in<br> <a \
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Examination_of_cases" \
target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Examination_of_cases</a>.<br>
 <br>
A &quot;quadric&quot; is a far more general mathematical object, namely an \
hypersurface<br> defined as the loci of zeros of a quadratic polynomial. Nothing \
closely related<br> to Bézier curves.<br>
