You know it's been like that for almost 3 years now and I think you are
the first person to comment on it..
*Technically* I think I could argue that space is a consumable so it is
perfectly valid to say '7.1 meg will be used [up]' or '7.1 meg will be
freed [up]'
If I add the extra word then it won't always fit on one line which just
ruins the asthetics :>
