Remove term "bytes" from memory

Denneisk opened this issue · 4 comments

Have references to the term "byte" replaced with a different terminology. It's misleading in almost every place it's used.

Possible alternatives:

  • Numbers (N, KN)
  • Words (W, KW)
  • Doubles (D, KD)
  • Values (V, KV)
  • Block (B, KB)

True byte values can still be displayed, but they should be accurate, which, according to Garry, means they must be a multiple of 8.

number is the best term

'block' is a good one too.

Perhaps a poll could be done to see what users prefer most.
