| Jan 20, 2012 at 5:57 | comment | added | Hand-E-Food | While "two-byte words" sounds better, I refer to "12-bit words" a lot more often than "16-bit words", and "one-and-a-half-byte words" is starting to sound like imperial measurements. :-) BTW, I don't know where all the downvotes are coming from. T'wasn't I. | |
