Hi,

The point I was initially trying to make was that, independent of the
interpretation of kilo (1000 or 1024), the correct abbreviation is
"k", not "K".

Most people won't mind "K", but some do. Fewer people, I think, will
mind "k", so that would be the better choice.

On the subject of powers. Ask a thousand programmers how they
interpret kilobyte and megabits, and I think that very few will see
powers of ten there. The power-of-two interpretation has prevailed for
the last forty years at least, and will probably continue to do so for
some time.

Kind regards
/Lars Hamrén
