: "Kibibyte" is good enough for me too, it at least makes it less confusing. I raised issue with the current name because there are [[Temperament_naming#Temperament_and_comma_naming_conventions|strong reasons]] for renaming this comma. I do think it'd be more ideal to have a name based on the musical/harmonic implications of tempering the comma out though. --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 15:32, 5 March 2024 (UTC) | : "Kibibyte" is good enough for me too, it at least makes it less confusing.

: I should add that the [[megabyte comma]] doesn't have this problem because 1048576/1048575 is fairly low-prime-limit ([[41-limit]] specifically) while 1048577 = 17 * 61681. However if this comma gets renamed to "kibibyte" then definitely that comma should get renamed to "mebibyte" for consistency. --[[User:Godtone|Godtone]] ([[User talk:Godtone|talk]]) 16:38, 5 March 2024 (UTC) | |||
