Why do some autists get so worked up over the difference between the two terms? They mean the same fucking thing.

What?

Octet: 8 bits
Byte: Smallest addressable section of memory

By the way, does anyone if a char, int and long are always a byte, word and dword respectively. If so, why weren't they named as such?
