Endless Paradigm

So wee are all used to saying megs and gigs when talking about how big a storage device is...but after spending 4 hours in a meeting regarding storage expansion for project archives here at work, my ears felt liek they were going to bleed with everyone referring to terrabytes as 'terrs'  "so this will hold 44terrs and this will be 12 terrs and currently there is only 2 terrs free.

UGH that has to be the worst sounding word I have ever had to listen to.  And with the way things are going, its surely to become a household term in the next year or so :(

What do you think?

double you tee eff

'terr', that sucks. i just say terrabyte.
this will inevitably lead to people saying 'petas' too.
