[LINK] Is it Gb or GB?

[David Pedler]

We are having a debate over bits, nibbles, bytes and words.  If you have
a 10bit word can that be also called a byte.  I believe not, a byte is 8
bits.

Also is it GB for Gigabyte and Gb for Gigabit?  These days a lot of
people use Gb for Gigabyte; I believe that is wrong too.

Comments please?
