Etymology
The word megabyte for this comma was suggested by Xenllium in 2023 to refer to the numerator 1048576 (220) but it was changed due to it having nothing to do with bytes or with the kilobyte comma to the "mebisma" based on "mebi-" being the SI prefix for 220 = 10242 and being a shorter name.
