I disagree: in English, the nouns are floor and ceiling. That's what they should be called.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Jun 27, 2016 at 02:41 David Hart <<a href="mailto:david@hartbit.com">david@hartbit.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div>Whatever the naming scheme, I would be hesitant to have the non-mutating versions of floor and ceil have different endings, seeing how connected they are.
