Well... let's say that the reasoning went a "bit" confused at the end
(thanks to my limited English skills), but the that I tried to say is
that in the Java we have Math.ceil/Math.floor (not Math.ceiling). So I
indeed wondered if which is the better (ceil or ceiling). But yes,
true, ceiling is a noun like floor is, while ceil is a verb... So
unless ceil is prevalent in the IT lingo, ceiling will be good.
