Shatikajj (talk) 16:00, 2 March 2017 (UTC) There is a problem with the way we write the acronym of metric multiplier and Binary multipliers. The acronyms of metric multiplier is always written in uppercase, while Binary multipliers are written in uppercase. Example megabyte is often written MB, but is suppose to be written as mB. Same apply to Kibibyte, instead of writing kB (with small k), write it with a big Letter "K". NOTE: Bytes is always capitalized (B) while Bits is always written in lowercase (b).

The following is how we suppose to write metric multipliers and Binary multipliers: Metric multipliers: 1 Kilobytes =kB 2 Megabytes = mB 3 Giga = gB 4 Tera = tB

Binary Multipliers: 1 Kibibits = Kib 2 Mebibits = Meb 3 Gibibits = Gib 4 Tebibits = Teb


 * No. You are flatly wrong about this (except for B = byte and b = bits).
 * The SI prefix for one billion is G, not g. The SI prefix for one million is M, not m. In fact, lowercase m means "milli"-, one one thousandth (e.g. one mA = one milliamp, one thousandth of an amp). It is true that some use the convention of k = 1000 and K = 1024 when writing about memory or file sizes, but this is not supported by SI and is far from universal, and could not be extended to M since m was already in SI as "milli-".
