Think your example is not quite valid ...
People say or write $88M or $45k I.e. use SI prefix as a suffix, else it wou=
ld be more, not less, clear on what amount is being referred to.
For me, "bits" are easy to say and one million as a factor is simple to unde=
rstand.
M-bits, kilobits, millibits, etc are never going to be used by folk in every=
day transactions, IMHO=20
