Unambiguous? As in megabyte?

• CydeWeys 11y ago
  Yes, it is unambiguous. No one uses binary prefix notation for mass.

    No one uses "mega" for grams either.

      Why not? It shows the relationship between itself and other metric units better than "tonne" does. It would start sounding natural if people started using it.

        Because "mega" is ambiguous. It can mean different things.
        • khedoros 11y ago
          Can it? How so? As a unit prefix, I only know it to mean "a multiple of 10^6"
