What’s bad about the binary prefixes? Does it help if you think about how it’s designed to be “MEga BInary” and “GIga BInary”? Or is that the problem? The talk

What’s bad about the binary prefixes? Does it help if you think about how it’s designed to be “MEga BInary” and “GIga BInary”? Or is that the problem? The talk of weird sounding binary prefixes and long scales reminds me of the British long scale for large numbers that has different names for what we know as ‘million’ and ‘billion’: “milliard” and “billiard” (not to be confused with pool.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_and_short_scales
