Wrong.  There is NO "Least Significant Bit" or "Most Significant Bit".
Those words only have significance when talking about the two bytes in a 
word, or the "LSW" and "MSW" (Most Significant Word and Least Significant 
Word) when talking about double words.
Bits are numbered, since there's usually 8 of them in a byte.
