30-fold or 30 times? Very big difference between n×30 vs n×2^(30)

I guess I'm being pedantic here but I always thought there was a difference between the two. Oh well.

Do you have a source for that? I looked at the Etymologie and it seems to be from old germanic languages. I am skeptical that old germanic people wold know the difference between Multiplication and 2 power x.
