i totally understand what you're saying there :)and yes shoul dhave been denary, the odd typo creeps in now and again. Not 100% sure of the official term for denary and octary but i figured i'd continue the theme and ppl would know what I meant ;) (for once)
(edit: i'll leave that typo in as a further example ;)

Actually, I wasn't pickingpedantically on a typo.
I didn't realise it was spelled wrong, and I don't know what base denary is.
And the "mind is too highly trained ..." is from Hitchhiker's. Please don't think for a moment that I'm serious there. ;-)
All right, it's b-time for the monkey. But tomorrow, I've got a puzzle for you.

pedantics is not a bad thingit's impossible to tell, as we've shown here, whether people make mistakes through a typing error or through not knowing.
Pointing out the facts means that they will learn if they didn't know, but if they already know they may take offence at the person thinking they didn't know.
Binary means in two's bi = 2 essentially and following on from that denary is in 10's like decimal, oct is 8 (like october the 10th month ;) but you know oct already from octagons and suchforth.
I am very much a Hitchhiker's fan so no problems in getting that quote.
Night night.
