bits, and named something relating to its ending at (i.e. before) the <br>
ninth bit. Or whatever twisted logic gave the French "huit jours" (lit. <br>
eight days) for "a week" and "quinze jours" (lit. fifteen days) for "a <br>
fortnight" (which at least comes from "fourteen nights", so the math <br>
works out for the English at any rate). Me, I'm going to choose to <br>
believe that it's eight bits (an "octet" to be hyper-technical) and <br>
named off-by-one because of some... reason.<br>
