Note to English speakers learning French, "roter" does not mean "to rotate." If you say:
"Je rote ce solide autour de cet axe."
You're NOT saying:
"I'm rotating this solid around this axis."
You ARE saying:
"I'm burping this solid around this axis."
The only possible response to this is "bonne chance!" and hope it does not hurt too much to burp a solid.
