As I migrate more posts on 'verse computing, I observe:
Those people with buttsticks about "byte" and "nybble" being too silly are going to have to continue to suffer post-contact through "playte", "dynner", "feyst", and "banquyt".
(Industry-standard word lengths in the seventh millennium are banquyts. Conveniently, this means that IIP addresses are still quadwords.)
@cerebrate My only quibble is that I think half a byte should be spelled "nybl" instead. ;)
