In my years of University the students were told to remember that
1Kb == 1024 bytes, 1Mb == 1024Kb and size prefixes should be written
as a capital letter to emphasize its meaning. I'm very reluctant to
change this practice to something else regardless of explanations and
intents. I understand that for not technical people 1K == 1000, but
I'd assume programmers are not of that kind.
