Is “byte” capitalized?

We don’t know! It was provisionally agreed that we would use an initial capital for the name of a Type object (“By convention, names of objects [sic!] that describe data types should have their first letter capitalized”) but usage varies when the name is used within the labels of different objects. My own view is that it is sometimes useful to be clear about references to the specific Type (object) rather than the general concept but, of course, such a convention fails with. “Boolean” and “Kleenean”, which are capitalized in ordinary English. (I have also found it convenient to use capitals for identities, so that, for example, “True” is an object with a "Z41" identity, representing “true”.)

@GrounderUK Thanks! I undid my edit in order to be consistent with the provisional agreement. Thanks for letting me know! --Denny (talk) 17:12, 24 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
