I use 120 or 132 (no idea why I picked that number), but I tend to break my lines well before that, especially on function signatures.
I'm that git that puts each param on a separate line (so I can quickly comment them out when I need to). It annoys other programmers, but once I explain why ...
They're still annoyed, but at least they're quiet about it.
Some old "dumb" terminals could be switched into 132-column mode, this corresponded to the 132 columns on the line printers that printed on wide fan-fold green-bar paper.
The 80 column standard for a line of code goes back to the 80 columns on a standard IBM punch card. Why 80 columns on a punch card? I don't know that one.
If you're that git that makes one param per line a standard that you can flunk code review for not adhering to, I'd seriously consider switching jobs were I under you.
