The word 'align' does not appear to have any relationship to the word 'store'.The word length of a byte is of course 8. Incidentally, most publishers now recommend using namely instead of the Latin abbreviation viz., (for videlicet, the z being the old symbol denoting the contraction et). The 'number of different values' of a byte is 256, whereas the number of significant digits is 8 (binary) or 3 (decimal). Also note that if you use such as, do not end the list with etc. The 'number of different values' is not the same as the 'number of significant digits.'word length' is not a more specific term for 'word size', it's just another name for the same thing.However none of the examples you quote are really appropriate for either 'respectively' or 'specifically'
The vague word 'size' is explained to mean the more specific term 'land area', rather than other possibilities such as land and sea area, or population. If you sort a list of countries by size (specifically land area) Russia is at the top. It means we qualify a general term with a specific one. Without the word 'respectively' we know only that both Alice and Bob live in either apartment 1 or apartment 2.Ī useful word that people sometimes mean when using 'respectively' is 'specifically'. This means Alice lives in apartment 1 and Bob lives in apartment 2. For example:Īlice and Bob live in apartments 1 and 2, respectively. 'Respectively' is used to say that items in a list correspond with each other in order. Your use of the word respectively is wrong.
