standard</span> refers to any practice which is typical or broadly

|
|
done. It's most appropriately applied to things that everyone does that
|
|||
|
|
are not quite regulation. For example: ANSI standard shaking of a laser
|
|||
|
|
printer cartridge to get extra life from it, or the ANSI standard word
|

|
|
tripling in names of usenet alt groups.</p><p>This usage derives from the American National Standards

Institute. ANSI, along with the International Organization for Standards
|
|||
|
|
(ISO), standardized the C programming language (see <a href="../K/K-ampersand-R.html"><i class="glossterm">K&R</i></a>, <a href="../C/Classic-C.html"><i class="glossterm">Classic
