wiZd0m when the words ere invented there was no such standard for 1024 and the words they create did not exist before they introduced them, you can bet your ass that they were never intended to be mixed up with the decimal system.

like I said they were unique words used to describe internal addresses of computers and were not intended to be used in other fields so why bother changing them.

Hell will freeze over before I start to talk about a gigabyte as being 1000 megabytes.

They may well have renamed them but I don't think they have any right to do so, the creators of the words gave them values and nobody has any right to change that meaning.
Worst of all the new words sound stupid and are unpronounceable.
