Well, I suppose it's a "fight" on both sides if you "fight back." Anyway. . . I'm not really sure why you feel it's "easier for calculations"... it almost makes it harder for me... but it's not much of a point. As for "1MB" and "1foot".. I would write it as "1MB," (or 1 megabyte) and 1 foot (or perhaps one foot). I do think 1MB looks a bit stupid, but any number other than "1" with KB/MB/GB etc (i.e. 128MB). looks fine, simply because the "1" is too narrow. Unfortunately, it boils down to opinion, and obviously we differ there.
