impatientperson 11/13/17 10:34:52 AM #1:	Assuming we get to a place where they're as commonplace as gigabytes. Generally people will say '4 gigs' or '60 meg'. But I still hear terabytes anytime they're mentioned. So are we gonna go with Ters? Or Teras? Or are we just gonna keep saying terabytes forever? And what about after that? "I have 3 pets." "What are they?" "Well, one's Russian. One's Asian. " "Like a Russian blue? And do you mean a Siamese? "No I think it's mostly Japanese.

Oh, you have NO idea how much I hate it and attack it throughout the year. The funny thing is that it would be closer to tears in several other languages anyway given tera has that sound in a number of them already. Have heard a number of non-native English speakers say Tear-Ah-Bite and not Tare-Ah-Bite Also Tear, Tier and Tare are ALL real words with meanings not even remotely the same despite the exact same pronunciation. Also, tear can mean two different things being a tear from your eye or to rip things apart (literally or figuratively) so context is important since the pronunciation and spelling don't change. lol English! --- This is GameFAQs.
