ANSI standard
|
|
|
|
/ansee stand@rd/ The ANSI standard usage of ANSI standard 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. This
|
|
usage derives from the American National Standards Institute. ANSI, along
|
|
with the International Organization for Standards (ISO), standardized the C
|
|
programming language (see K R , Classic C), and promulgates many other
|
|
important software standards.
