The alias could be in /etc/profile.

Try "alias ls" and see what that tells you.
If there is an alias, you can remove it with "unalias ls".

Also, note that the only difference with the -h option is that the file
size is expressed differently:

$ ls -l  tictactoe 
-rw-r-xr--    1 chris    disk        10182 Nov  6 17:36 tictactoe

$ ls -lh tictactoe
-rw-r-xr--    1 chris    disk         9.9k Nov  6 17:36 tictactoe

There will be no difference if you do not also use the -l option. This is
true of some other options as well.
