Indeed, my wife was reading a book the other day, in which one of the characters ended up dying of terabytes. To follow all the political excitement in Australia last week, I was listening to a station in Sydney called 2 G B, which default Daniel, my voice of choice, called 2 Gigabytes. I also find Alex spells out a lot of things, such as email addresses and Twitter IDs. It also seems to mispronounce more than most voices, so I give Alex a miss.
