wait, why is a bit per second called a "baud"?

(looks it up)

...huh, so apparently the word "baud" is even older than computers, it was named after émile baudot, who invented a system of coding characters for the telegraph (which actually looks more like a predecessor to something like ASCII, and apparently also is the origin of CR and LF as separate symbols!)
