This is not related to fixed-point per se, but why did boost.operators choose the spelling euclidian instead of the more common euclidean? I did check the Merriam-Webster, and both spellings are accepted (to my surprise), but I believe that most mathematicians use Euclidean...
I'm surprised too - I've never seen it spelled otherwise. I checked the APIs we're currently using and they all use Euclidean. Google pulls up 3,820,000 for euclidean, and 325,000 for euclidian (it also says "Did you mean: euclidean"). In Google Code Search it pulls up 44,600 for euclidean, and 7,000 for euclidian. --Michael Fawcett
