Line 741:
:::: Thing is there are many standards out there. IEEE uses b, IEC uses bit. Confusion can arise when b is used, so the community decided to use bit all accross. So basically what Gerry Ashton said above. Same goes for Mbps vs Mbit/s. When the entire computer industry follows one standard instead of 20 at once, then the community will be more than happy to rank and file. In the meantime, it's a choice. Hennce B for byte, bit for bit.
