Edit report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51834&edit=1 ID: 51834 Updated by: rasmus@php.net Reported by: alexc223 at googlemail dot com Summary: shorthand notation states 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes Status: Bogus Type: Documentation Problem Package: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: By the way, since you are being pedantic, it is "affected" not "effected" in that context. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-13 20:35:54] rasmus@php.net There is one comment that agrees with you on this bug. Saying "Everyone" here is rather overstating things, don't you think? Nobody is arguing that it isn't technically correct, but in the real world, people don't actually know what a kibibyte is. I have taken a couple of quick straw polls of the audience at my various PHP talks and typically there are 1 or 2 people in an audience of 50 who know what it is. The PHP documentation is not the place for evangelizing this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-13 20:31:22] alexc223 at googlemail dot com Just to reiterate, I'm not asking to change the value of K, just to change the wording. No code will be effected by changing this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-13 20:26:11] alexc223 at googlemail dot com Where are you getting this 98% from? It's just air facts. Everyone so far has agreed this bug exists, yet are refusing to change 1 simple word for no reason at all. Is it even worth reporting bugs against PHP documentation? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-06-13 20:12:03] artificial at iol dot ie Just because some standards body wants to redefine words does not change how 98% of people use those words. People who say kibibyte = libtards. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-30 14:45:18] alexc223 at googlemail dot com Can we get an update on this? I don't feel this bug report has been handled with much communication to resolve an issue that clearly exists, but is being ignored even though you agree it is a bug. It's not a bogus bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
