   That gets into the famous 'what something means depends on the context'   
   concept, with which I don't always agree.   
      
   wp can mean wikipedia to me if that is the context; it might mean 'word   
   processor' or any number of other things depending on specific context.   
      
   *HOWEVER* that context idea does NOT mean that kilobyte can mean one   
   thing in one context and something else in another context.  A kilobyte   
   is 1000 bytes, not 1024.  1024 bytes are a kibibyte.   
      
   Abbreviations are one thing; prefixes are another.
