Not such illogical crap like

I don't quite know what you mean by "neutral element". I think you mean
the identity element […]
I knew I should have looked it up instead of "translating" it from my
mother tongue -- yes I ment "identity element". Sorry for the
confusion.
Neutral element is correct. But maybe its use is limited to
mathematicians in the english-speaking word.
In Spanish I've seen "elemento neutro" and "elemento identidad" used
interchangeably.
