does this really vary by locale?

[Avi (use Gerrit), 2011/06/21 14:30:19]

:( Did you just propose that surely everyone in the world does this exactly the
same way we do? The fact that they don't is the whole _point_ of this CL.

[Evan Stade, 2011/06/21 22:10:57]

This wasn't a helpful answer to my question, so I went and searched the web. It
appears certain alphabets such as Cyrillic, Arabic, and Hebrew do not use kB for
kilobytes (even though most Asian and Latin scripts do).

[Avi (use Gerrit), 2011/06/21 22:20:07]

Some omit the space between the number and the label. Some (particularly France)
use "octet" rather than "byte". Most do use the same tags, but not all do...

[Evan Stade, 2011/06/21 22:26:18]

it seems subtle that the space is important, so it's probably good to notate
that somewhere.
