I thought it was spelled 'nybble'?

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 9 points 1 day ago

According to the article linked both are valid

Yeah, I've always used the "nybble" spelling for data instead of tooth activity. But, also I think more people just use "hex digit".

Depends on if its referring to hard drive storage or reality.
