Not sure why they show it like that, it might be a design choice. Where I live, it’s often put as decimals, with the last digit smaller than the others:
9/10 of a cent
Yeah, GB and Gb are clearly defined. But the flyer says “gig”
What is actually being offered here? It says ‘2 gig’ in several places, I assume that means 2 Gb/s? No way that’s actually 2 GB/s, right?
I hate imprecise language in advertisements, smh
They did. This is unequivocally a good thing
I’d think a wheelbarrow or hand-drawn cart would still be useful, but I see your point
