Be Excellent To Each Other

Gb = Gigabit, GB = Gigabyte (same with Kilo, Mega and Tera). There's a size difference of a factor of 10. So yes, it's important.

It's = "it is" or "it has" - that's all you have to remember. It always means "it is" or "it has". Read your sentence out aloud, and if "it is" doesn't make sense, don't use an apostrophe.

Please discuss below and offer your own entries for future reference. Then I'll update the OP. Bin discussion strictly forbidden.

Except when it means “It has”, right?

Er... I don't think so. Can you give me an example?

I'm kidding by the way. Yes. Stop ruining my pedantry thread with pedantry. I've updated the OP. I do very rarely use it for "it has" though. Doesn't sound right. Either way, it certainly doesn't affect the main problem with "it's" and its mistaken use instead of "its".

It's been a lovely day.

Your pedantry is weak, old man.

Man, I've stitched myself right up.

8 surely?

LULZ. How's this thread working out for you, WTB?

Amazing.

Ah fuck me! You know what I was going to say in response? "Technically, yeah, but 10 is easier to work out quickly." Then I realised I'd called it the pedantry thread.

At least I'll get a mention in BEEX WEEX next Friday.

BELM WEEX.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Haha!

I'm pretty innocent.

*Picks up stone, aims for face*

Fraster.

A whole fucking chapter.

With broken links, I hope.

Broken links are the least of your worries for next week.

Bloody hell WTB this thread is a fail so big it can be seen from space.

Can't wait!

In my defence I'm technically retarded.

The best kind of retarded.

Best. Thread. Ever.

INSTAPAPERED

I think next week's Beex Weex should just be a list of links to every post in this thread.

This is obviously an important thread, and as such needs to be made somewhat Sticky, surely?

Either that or we just establish a BEEX rota to add a post to it every 48 hours, so that it never drops off the front page.

Ever.

Shush everyone.. I'm trying to work out how big my hard drive is.

Just multiply everything by ten and chuck a few apostrophes on the end.

In my defence, Gb and GB are usually rounded down to end in 0s, so technically... Ah just fuck off.

I bought a 120gb hard drive and it only has 111gb capacity. It has Its ridiculous, cancer of my computer it is.

Who can I complain to WTB?

*adds to threads of note and worth*

This was getting dangerously close to the bottom of the page.
