Weird Thing About Coriolis Acceleration and Coriolis Force?

[QUOTE="NTesla, post: 6829963, member: 682219"] From the wikipedia page that I had posted in post#13, I'm posting the relevant part here below. The part which is bothering me now is the line written in the image below: "Sometimes these coordinate-system dependent terms (in the expression for acceleration in polar coordinates(inertial frame of reference)) are also referred to as as "fictitious forces", introducing a second meaning for "fictitious forces" [B]despite the fact that these terms do not have the vector transformation properties expected of forces[/B]". How come the vector transformation properties are not applicable to the coordinate-system dependent "fictitous forces" (which by the way are real acceleration/forces according to Kleppner and Kolenkow)?
