incorrect edit: "bight" was changed to "bite" in article's content
[edit]It looks like "bight" was edited recently to be spelled as "bite" in the content. I am a rookie at Wikipedia and am not sure of procedure for correcting this, or my authority to do so.
The title of the article is the correct as far as my expertise goes, which is as grammarian, not as rope or knot expert.
On internet search: the spelling "bite" appears to be used casually [and possibly incorrectly?] with reference to climbing ropes, here and there -- but I can find no definitions or explicit references online that say "either bight or bite" may be used for ropes or knots [as defined by this Wikipedia article]. Nor does the definition page [1] mention an alternate spelling "bite".
If someone would like to make the change or undo, I would be satisfied.
Thanks :)
