alt Hacker NewsYes, radio found out naming is hard before software did, in very old times there was High Frequency (HF), but then circuits got fast enough to go higher, oops, ok no problem, let's call the new frequencies Very High Frequency (VHF) whew that was close, but wait they got even faster! Ugh! Ok let's call the new frequencies Ultra High Frequency (UHF), but wait, we're still not in the Ghz range yet! Thankfully they did not keep going to Super Super Mega Ultra High Frequency.

Television resolutions appear to be on the same naming path.
So you've heard of USB?
They should have started adopting olive size factors.
After Ultra High, we could have had Jumbo, Colossal, Super Colossal. and Mammoth frequency ranges.
Not to be confused with Colossal wavelengths, which is what we could have used if we need to fiddle around below Extremely Low frequencies..
Uhm.. Super High Frequency (SHF) and Extremely High Frequency (EHF) would like to have a word.
Though yes in my experience, at those frequencies people stop using ITU designations, and switch to IEEE (S,C,X-band etc).
Sky High Frequency
3–30 Hz Extremely low frequency
30–300 Hz Super low frequency
300–3000 Hz Ultra low frequency
3–30 kHz Very low frequency
30–300 kHz Low frequency
300 kHz – 3 MHz Medium frequency
3–30 MHz High frequency
30–300 MHz Very high frequency
300 MHz – 3 GHz Ultra high frequency
3-30 GHz Super high frequency
30–300 GHz Extremely high frequency
300 GHz – 3 THz Tremendously high frequency
