Recognize that as language changes, dictionariess are following indicators
(investment content.)  Most include new terms and definitions based in large
part on current and increasing usage.  A quick search of Google resulted in
about 11,700 hits on the term "hexadecimal digit" - an oxymoron on its face if
we are forced to abide by your dictionary's definition for "digit."  Common use,
in at least a subset of our population, has given the letters 'a' through 'f'
some legitimacy as 'digits.'

Before the flames begin, I got a good chuckle out of your reply.  I am one of
the first, usually in good humor, to point out others' foibles and mistakes.  I
(sometimes) get a laugh when others point out mine.

All the best

Sorry, but it doesn't look like letters fit the definition of "digit"...

digit

\Dig"it\, n. [L. digitus finger; prob. akin to Gr. ?, of uncertain origin;
possibly akin to E. toe. Cf. Dactyl.] 1. (Zo["o]l.) One of the terminal
divisions of a limb appendage; a finger or toe.

The ruminants have the ``cloven foot,'' i. e., two hoofed digits on each
foot. --Owen.

2. A finger's breadth, commonly estimated to be three fourths of an inch.

3. (Math.) One of the ten figures or symbols, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9,
by which all numbers are expressed; -- so called because of the use of the
fingers in counting and computing.

Note: By some authorities the symbol 0 is not included with the digits.

In the hope of putting an inclusive end to it, for all you computer geeks,
the
letters 'a' through 'f' are single digits too. Right now, I wouldn't mind
getting a some f% return on anything!
