Mass is a quantity of matter, and inertia is its measu

For any given object; body or mass of matter, it's inertia is the ratio of
the weight [w] it exerts on, and/or is exerted by a weight scale, to the
acceleration [g] at which it will free fall at that location; which is equal
to the net force [f] exerted on, and/or by it, to the acceleration [the rate
of change in velocity (a = acceleration)] that the force causes, and/or the
deceleration; the rate at which the mass would accelerate, except for being
restrained by an equal; opposite force: m = w/g = f/a.

You're probably all familiar with that old joke about the irresistible force
meeting the immovable object(;^)

A ~quantity~? You make it sound like mass is seperate from the
matter... like "freezing is a quantity of temperature"... or that the
matter is a symptom of the mass.. care to try again?

So you think mass _is_ matter, and explain the kilogram as a unit of it?
What about the Higgs?

The kilogram is one _unit_ quantity of matter in that its inertia [w/g] is
numerically equal to its weight [9.81 newtons], divided by the acceleration
[g = 9.81 m/sec²] at which it will free fall; where [w/g = 1 N sec²/m = 1
kg.].

You should thank Shead by private email, Orman, lest you look like
Shead's fool.

What about it? You can't even figure out 32 instead of 16 as g....
why should I debate with someone that clueless?

There's some real live inertial mathematics!
