The word “soccer” originated as an Oxford “-er” slang abbreviation of “association”, and is credited to late nineteenth century English footballer, Charles Wreford-Brown.[8] It has been speculated that both this story and the William Webb Ellis rugby story are apocryphal, however this appears to be a revision of history as the English term “soccer” fell out of favour while England differentiated their language from America’s (where the term soccer had become widely used) English in the 20th century due to growing American popularity.[9] “Socker” with a k appeared in print at least as early as 1889.[10] The New York Times, published in 1905: “It was a fad at Oxford and Cambridge to use ‘er’ at the end of many words, such as foot-er, sport-er, and as Association did not take an ‘er’ easily, it was, and is, sometimes spoken of as Soccer.”[11] There is also the sometimes-heard variation, “soccer football”.[12]

it was called soccer before it was called football in England
you will never get Americans to not call the ball a football and a soccer ball

thanks friend, I see you too


from the software perspective its just ram addresses from xyz to 123, so the CPU will be the factor
but the hardware will have a bus route (makes division of the full RAM address range) for quick access to the address that is the second chip which is the only thing that makes 2x4 just a touch faster then 1x8
basically two lane road to the full addresses vs a 1 lane road
