:::: I repeat, it is not accepted at all to prove anything based on the quantity of Google results. Why do you claim the opposite? Just because? It is absolutely obvious that and why a term like "kilobyte" will generate more search results than "kibibyte". The former is about 30 years older than the latter. Nobody is going to correct OCR scans (or otherwise copied information) of 30 year old books, manuals or the like. It only matters for newly written text of course - which may very well be about past technology. Further nobody deprecated the term "kilobyte". Many if not most articles mentioning kibibyte will also mention kilobyte. These are some of the reasons why Google gaming is nonsense. I did not write anything contradictory at all. Do you know what kind of mistakes are caused by lack of concentration? Just look at your linked mail. That's one example. Once and for all, it has nothing to do with "confusion" and the IEC binary prefixes do not cause any confusion at all. Also I'm not wrong. I'm human.
