Nothing "colloquially" about it: any term not defined in the RM is used in 
its English language sense, and specifically from a definition based on a 
particular dictionary (see 1.3). (Well, there's an exception for 
mathematical terms, but "inherit" surely isn't one of those.

In any case, I'm only interested in the terminology of the RM when it comes 
to discussing Ada. Dmitry has taught me well that there is no point is 
spending a moment arguing with someone that uses words in some other way - 
it's virtually impossible even understand what they're actually talking 
about. So I'm not going to waste any more time in this subthread.
