I don't think you're using that right. You get to make statements "for |

future reference" if you actually have authority to tell people what to do. |

'disk space' is a perfectly valid term even if you have fancy solid |
| 12 |
state drives these days. It is an established term in technical |
| 13 |
documentation that everyone understands even if you don't physically use |
| 14 |
a 'disk'. |

Wikipedia lists 'disk space', not 'drive space' as do two English-* |
| 17 |
dictionaries I checked. Why should we be coining 'drive space'? |
