And it sounds silly and adds nothing. That too.
(edit: my education on this stuff was in the 00's. Sounds like it was more common in the 80s. I'd definitely support obsoleting the term entirely now, though! It adds unnecessary complexity.)

I don't think I read or heard about it again for over a decade. It's never sounded silly to me, or at least no more silly than "byte", and it's at least slightly useful to explain converting hex.
Its not a synonym for byte. In modern systems, a word is typically 4 or 8 bytes.
