    Ternary.

    Unary, Binary, Ternary.

    Trinary is not a word, and I pray you aren't teaching AI that it is.

    What does Emmanuel Louis have to do with this?

    You know that the word "irregardless" passes spellchecks. So look at the word structure. Without having lack of regard.

    Just because you can point out an idiotic definition in the dictionary doesn't make it less ridiculous nor redundant.

    And I would place a small bet that you get annoyed when people say, "I could care less."

    This isn't cromulent speech. Language has rules for a damn reason.

    Yes is is (though I accept that ternary is more common, it just slipped my mind). Also English is not a prescriptive language (like French or Welsh) so maybe stop being quite so pedantic about what is and isn't a word

    I will simply refuse to not be correct.

    How about you simply stop being sensitive to some response from a random person you will never ever meet in your life on the internet that just wanted to educate you so that you can better present your obvious intelligence to those who DO fucking matter.
