Float vs real

Pascal Cuoq - 9th Feb 2012

For some reason, uses of real to denote fixed-precision floating-point numbers (in languages such as FORTRAN) irritate me, but uses of integer or int to denote bounded integers do not. One notation isn't more accurate than the other, though.

Does anyone have an idea why that might be?
