    but Tebibyte just sounds lame

    It doesn't sound objectively any more lame to me than a prefixes like "giga" and "peta". You probably just think it sounds weird because you're not used to it yet.

    If you're starting a crusade to clean up the language, why not start with far more egregious problems like all the words that contain the string "ough"?
