Let it be known that, the term "Bytes" is abbreviated as "B". Not "b".

"b" is the abbreviation for "bits", and a bit is only 1/8th of a byte.

Also, the prefix "mega" is abbreviated "M", not "m". ("m" is short for milli)

So if you want to refer to "Megabytes", use "MB" (or "MiB"). Don't use "mb" or "Mb" as they DO NOT MEAN THE SAME THING as "MB".

It's crazy how many people mess these unit abbreviations up... :P

This pet-peeve-inspired rant now draws to a close. Thanks for listening.
