As a regular forum user, it has been brought to my attention that every now and then, we will see the term «ti-8x» being thrown around. Unlike saying «nspire series», ti-8x seems to stand in a bit of a gray area when it comes to which calculators are included in this category. On one hand, there is the syntactical interpretation, which implies that the ti-8x series includes every model from the ti-80 to the ti-89. On the other hand, when some people mention ti-8x, they mean the monochrome Z80 members of the ti-83 and ti-84 family only. I personally have always thought it was the syntactical interpretation but I want to know what most people think it should be.
Here is a list of the included calculators for the syntactical interpretation:
Here is the list of the 2nd interpretation:
Please inform me if I've forgotten any in either of the interpretations. Hopefully we can get this sorted out with an official list of the included calculators and remove the ambiguity.
As pointed out by Kerm himself, we should also adress the nomenclature regarding the «plus» in calculator names. As you may have noticed in the lists above, I opted for the «+» rather than writing down «plus» where it felt appropriate to do so. I would also like to know how the majority believes it should be written in an attempt to standardize the way we write down calculator names.
