A common nomenclature uses the lower-case 'b' to mean bit, and the upper-case 'B' to mean byte. Yes, you could adopt that convention; but be aware that it is by no means a standard - many places use upper & lower case pretty much indiscriminately in this context. Just look how hard it is for people to get 'k' (1000) and 'K' (1024) right; or 's' (seconds) and 'S' (siemens) - and they are well-established, formal standards! |

| LSB byte of 24 bits | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| a union | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| union = fast, but not portable | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Shift-and-Mask = Portable, and possibly not slow | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Shifts and masks often resulting in optimum native code | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| can be portable | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Can be portable | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| More to it than that! | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| which is why I do this very thing | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| for completeness there is the pointer | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Split the word? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
