   `G` is the symbol for `Giga`. The method we use is `.3s` out of `d3.format` which is somewhat standard. While switching from `G` to `B` might make it more clear to you and some subset of users, it may make it more confusing to others, or the simple fact of changing it might confuse some.
   
   I'm not opposing this change but just mentioning that there are pro/cons.
