G'day,
| The big "M" vs. small "m" is something I'm very aware of usually, but
I'm
| not sure what a big "K" indicates vs. a small "k". I've always just
| considered either to mean "kilo".
Most prefixes which make a unit bigger are written in capital letters (M,
G, T etc) and when they make a unit smaller lower case is used (m, n, p
etc). One of the exceptions is kilo (k) which is used to avoid possible
confusion with kelvin (K).
Regards,
