THIS IS A Culture Check?

Do you know, without the internet, why there are Big Endians, and Little Endians, but no Endians or American Endians?

I knew.

I had to look it up.

[normalice]

Huh? Big and little endian are tems for byte order, not nationality.

[SugarSugarplum]

There is an even older reference. From the year 1726.

[SugarSugarplum]

Good one on the byte order thing. I have not heard that term used that way in years.

[normalice]

Heh. I hear it almost daily at my job 😅

[SugarSugarplum]

*SPOILER*
The reference I am making is to a little story called Gulliver's Travels, in which the Liliputians were having a massive political debate about whether an egg should be cracked from the big end or the little end.

[OddBeMe]

Actually I didn’t even look it up.

[FreyaRed]

Sometimes is a terminator necessary to end their life.

[DryGermanGuy]

Yeah, unfortunately. A source of headache.

[NathanDavis]

I failed it

[MrGSpotHer]

I don't know what it is
