a·dapt·er also a·dap·tor (ə-dăp'tər) pronunciation
n.
1. One that adapts, such as a device used to effect operative compatibility
between different parts of one or more pieces of apparatus.
2. Computer Science. A hardware device, such as a printed circuit board, that
enables a personal computer to use additional peripheral devices or hardware.
Seems there are two ways to spell that. IMHO, its already in way too many files
to change.
