L'adjectif basique est correctement utilisé en français pour désigner un sel basique qui peut formellement libérer un anion OH-. Il est fortement déconseillé de l'utiliser en français dans le cas d'un sel acide contenant un ou plusieurs cations H+; on doit donc éviter les noms tels que «phosphate calcique monobasique», «phosphate monobasique de calcium» et «orthophosphate monobasique de calcium» qui sont des anglicismes de mauvais aloi. 1, record 1, French, - phosphate%20acide%20de%20calcium
