The words
a) "correctly rounded result" now appears once in C2Y's body
b) "correct rounding" at least appears a few times times
c) "correctly rounded" appears over 20 times
However, "correctly rounded" is explained in terms of "correct rounding",
why not hijack the ISO/IEC 60559 definition of the latter and replace the
definition of the term
correctly rounded result
with
correct rounding
The method of converting an infinitely precise result to the floating
point format of the result, subject to the current rounding direction
mode. A floating point number or its value that is so obtained is said
to be "correcty rounded"
The two existing "Notes" to this definition still apply.
