The English language loves irony - it's the same reason Dyslexia is so hard to spell and monogamy sounds so close to monotony.
In the future this will be resolved when we all use 'macro' or 'micro' to denote big or small - both 5 letters. Although this will raise another problem - middle or average will be 'mean' the smallest of them all???

So that if you write both words in the same amount of space, you can use bigger letters for BIG.

All big and important things in life looks small and insignificant and all small and useless things in life looks big and attractive.
One has to be very careful while judging this things.

Why do we drive on a parkway and park in a driveway?
English is weird.
