@thor the same man who invented the word teledildonics also coined the term hypermedia. He really liked naming things, I read he gave names to every distinct concept he and his team came up with - and a good example of that is the Ent data structure that can be represented by the attached images, all showing a different point of view on the structure. It's basically a structure that contains a tree like version history of a document that tracks every change in time - it knows when and how every bit was introduced or changed to the document. Kinda like google documents now, but more universal.

@asterope i’m still slightly disappointed that we did not call them “sexadecimal” numbers - apparently IBM was too embarrassed to name it this even though it would be the consistent usage (“hexa” is Greek and “decem” is Latin, which is inconsistent and is only to avoid having the word “sex” in there)

@thor >The word hexadecimal is first recorded in 1952.[33] It is macaronic in the sense that it combines Greek ἕξ (hex) "six" with Latinate -decimal. The all-Latin alternative sexadecimal (compare the word sexagesimal for base 60) is older, and sees at least occasional use from the late 19th century.[34] It is still in use in the 1950s in Bendix documentation. Schwartzman (1994) argues that use of sexadecimal may have been avoided because of its suggestive abbreviation to sex.[35] Many western languages since the 1960s have adopted terms equivalent in formation to hexadecimal (e.g. French hexadécimal, Italian esadecimale, Romanian hexazecimal, Serbian хексадецимални, etc.) but others have introduced terms which substitute native words for "sixteen" (e.g. Greek δεκαεξαδικός, Icelandic sextándakerfi, Russian шестнадцатеричной etc.) >Terminology and notation did not become settled until the end of the 1960s. Donald Knuth in 1969 argued that the etymologically correct term would be senidenary, or possibly sedenary, a Latinate term intended to convey "grouped by 16" modelled on binary, ternary and quaternary etc. According to Knuth's argument, the correct terms for decimal and octal arithmetic would be denary and octonary, respectively.[36] Alfred B. Taylor used senidenary in his mid-1800s work on alternative number bases, although he rejected base 16 because of its "incommodious number of digits".[37][38]Though if ted nelson's transclusion was a browser feature I wouldn't have to copy this and break all links and footnotes in the process.

@thor It's interesting how english just takes words from other languages instead of inventing its own for so many things. Hexadecimal numbers are called something like sixteen-like numbers in my language.If you think about it, every base is base 10.

@asterope you’d have to go around saying “bookstaff” instead of “letter” and such

@asterope as a Scandinavian it’s probably somewhat easier for me to pick out the Germanic words from the Romance ones
