Etymology

The word kilobyte for this comma was suggested by Xenllium in 2023 to refer to 1024 (2¹⁰) bytes but it was changed due to it having nothing to do with the logical kilobyte comma of 1024/1000 = 128/125, and as a result has nothing to do with bytes either, so kibisma was preferred as kibi is the SI prefix for unambiguously referring to 2¹⁰.
