"long long" is proof that it falls apart. Short/long were descriptive, meaningful adjectives, and in the context of 3 integers of different sizes, it made sense. "long long" isn't a descriptive or meaningful adjective. It's not even a real word. Luckily, there are signs that this will stop. Non-standard 128-bit integers are called __int128_t rather than "long long long".
