How do you say it?

How do you say these words?

Kilobyte-Megabyte-Gigabyte-Terabyte...ect

byte as in : I took a bite of a hot dog.

or

byte as in : I've been bit by a snake.


I say Byte like bite...how about you?

 

[suicidalpigeon]

bite.

 

[her209]

WTF?

8 bits in one byte!!!

 

[PowerMacG5]

If you say bit, you're an idiot. A byte is 8 bits, so if you are confusing, or mispronouncing the terms, you have no right being anywhere near a computer, or the english language.

[BatmanNate]

A bit is a binary representation, a byte is eight of those in short.

[Journer]

you may here someone say they hve an 8megabit connection...because they do...ISPs measure the speed in bits, not bytes...anyone who says they have 256megabits of ram is a ****** because no one measures ram capacity in bits....help yourself to webopedia.com and redirect the other stupids there as well

Since you thought both ways of pronounciation were correct, you're just as guilty of the computer faux pas.

I "thank you" for shutting the fvck up; I'm sure it's "not a problem" for you to do so. "I'm glad to help" you realize what a stupid question this was.

How's that?

It may be funny for your 'members' to get a laugh, but you really need some help with your social skills.
