From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Please stop purposefully misunderstanding people when the thing their trying to say is clear. Most annoying character trait one could have.
It leads to genuine confusion because of the difference between Mb and MB (and further MiB), so this is a good point to make in this case.
This is all fair, I can't say it wont happen again ever, but I usually am not this kind of a dick.
