The jubilee comma

Another interesting tidbit from The Myth of Invariance is that
McClain gives the name "jubilee comma" to 50/49. Since his book was
published in 1971, this predates "Erlich's decatonic comma";
and "tritonic diesis" suffers from the fact that way, way to many
things are called a "diesis". I think "jubilee" is a fine name for
this comma, at least for anyone not allergic to biblical references.
