> If you like to emphasize the fact that it's mostly modulo a power of two (2^n), then call it two's complement. And it's signed, and negative numbers work by, well, two's complement... Referring to unsigned integers, modulo a power of two, as "two's compliment" is at least weird. Referring to integers with a different encoding of negative numbers as "two's complement" would be incorrect, even if they still wrap around near a power of two.
