:I wouldn't sweat it. [http://phrontistery.info/numbers.html This reference] shows both oct, octa and octo in use!? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 18:48, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
::: Yeah, in my REXX calculator, I accept both names. OEIS uses octanacci (with a misspelled ''octoancci'' reference that points to the ''octanacci'' sequence), and Wolfram Mathworld ™ doesn't mention either one. It's like the word ''hexadecimal'' --- it's wrong (mixing Greek with Latin), but it's too late to change it now. The common usage is so ingrained that everybody uses it and knows what it means. I suspect it will be with '''octo''' & '''octa'''. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger|Gerard Schildberger]] 19:09, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
