Talk:Prime Triplet is Unique

Primeness sounds awkward to me. How would people feel about Primality (which, awkwardly as I suggest this, Firefox spell-check doesn't like)? --Alec (talk) 00:46, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Wiktionary has both primeness and primality as valid, and I will concede the the latter has specific ongoing links (albeit red) to further mathematical concepts. I confess to national chauvinism here: "primeness" sounds British and "primality" sounds American. What does a non-native Anglophone prefer, I wonder? --prime mover (talk) 08:43, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * To me, primeness sounds more like it is to be used in the context of e.g. 'the primeness of the example is disputed.', prime in the sense of '(most) important'.
 * Primality may be tied to 'being primal' but I'm not sure. It is however the term used in most (maybe even all) sources I have seen on the subject, and although this may be due to the US having more number theorists publishing books, I think it is in general best to conform to the most universal term; it goes without saying that primeness deserves a mention and probably a redirect. In page titles, I think the term is best avoided. This page could be titled Prime Triplet is Unique or something in that direction (in analogy to prime twins). --Lord_Farin (talk) 11:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * "Prime Triplet" works for me. (We might want to define the term.) Then all clumsiness vanishes.
