We ALL have
things which INFURIATE us, despite being in common usage.
And we can't resist reacting.
Though some of us sometimes can (mostly) keep the reactions off the
list. :/
For myself, I HATE "1.44M" when
referring to a drive with 1,474,560
bytes. (1.40625 Mebibytes)
The whole kibblebytes/maybebytes/gibberbytes stupidity is one of my pet
peeves. I refuse to let disk manufacturers redefine storage amounts
out from under me, no matter who buys into their fiction.
