There is an international standard about this, and it is pretty precise about the case sensitivity too:
"kilo" needs to be a lower "k" in the official standard. However, Ki (binary kilo = 1024) is with upper case.
see: http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html
(and numerous other sites -- the real official standard is not online: I can't verify there.)
But amanda is case insensitive for [kmg] and mulplies by 1024 too.
...Unless of course the K is within a circle. Then it means something else entirely.
K within a circle??? I already know C, R within a circle, but not heard of K with a circle. Ready to learn more :-)
