If using the same logic as with megs and gigs, it should be "ter" but I hear tera quite often in spoken language at least. In Internet, people tend to use TB and GB as their are faster to type
I'd like to see the word "tibs" as a way of pronouncing TBs. "I have 6 megs, 3 gigs and 5 tibs of data."
Yes. I guess that would be confusing although its fairly close to the same number. "Ter" just doesn't sound right to me, however.That would be bad, because it's too similar to tebibyte.

Now that is something I could live with!TUB --- TUBS of data. Don't like the vowel logic? So what? TuBS. Got a TuB in my machine, in fact I have several TuBs of data on this thing.
What about just "T"? Example: I have 12T of data. It would follow how I speak of kilobytes. I have 63K of data.
63Kb or KB?![]()

Tits.
Tits.
At first I was torn between "teg" and "ter," but saying "that's a 32 teg flash drive" just sounds more natural.
