You should learn to understand MB/mb/Mb/mB for megabyte and mbit for megabit. Anything else is inviting error and sorrow, because many people use it that way.

- CydeWeys 6y agoThis is flat-out wrong. Most times when I see a lower-case b in software or documentation it really does mean bit, not byte. The standards exist for a reason and you should follow them. Anything else is inviting error and sorrow. And no one says "mbit".
- okasaki 6y agoNo, you're wrong. My network card is 1gbit/s, my disk space is 4TB, my internet speed is 100mbitps and DVD capacity is 4gb. This is how everyone uses it and it's much clearer and better than B/b.
