Hi, I've been thinking and reading about it. I believe that if this doc will standardize anything, then it should be linguistically correct. As a consequence, "hextet" can't be even mentioned for official documents. If official documents writers want/have to use a word (rather than "bits 33 to 48"), they have to use something correct. In my opinion the IETF can't just mess with linguistic for the fun of it. If we split "octet" : "octo-" + "-et" So in theory : "hexadecim-" + "-et" = "hexadecimet" (the "t" in "hexdectet" comes from "oct-" not from "-et", so it's incorrect as well) So my proposal as an individual that has absolutely no authority about the matter is : 1 : "hexadecimet" [in English : /ˌhɛksəˈdɛsəmɛt/] MUST be used in official documents. 2 : delete any mention of quibble, hextet, hexadectet, or other variants. Let's leave it up to people to decide which one they want to use for informal communication and have this doc standardize only the exact only official naming for IETF documents.
