MODERATORS
Lengths such as inches, feet and miles they are all unrelated to one another so here is my proposal.
Instead of the kilobyte range we would have a
bet. This is the size of the extended ascii table off 255 ascii characters that are 7 bits each or 1785 bytes. Thebetcomes from alphabet.Instead of megabytes we have the
imgwhich is based off the average size of a photo at 1.44mb which is only coincidentally the same size of a floppy disk.Instead of a gigabyte we have the
bloatwhich is derived from total install size of Windows XP at around 2.4gb.In addition to that we may add a Jude because a the average MP3 file of Hey Jude by the Beatles is around 8 MB.
