I agree in principle, but does anyone else feel super awkward saying "mebibyte" and "gibibyte"?

It honestly sounds like how a diaper-wearing baby would mispronounce kilobyte.

"I will not sacrifice my dignity. We've made too many compromises already; too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds with awkward pronunciations. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done to the kilobyte!"
