    Please note that kilo is a small k. n, μ, m, k, M, G, T, …

    And yes. A lot of people here get at least one of those wrong.

      While you are correct, I know no operating system that doesn’t capitalize the K. At the very least not consistently.

        I just checked and my Android phone does indeed make the same error. Amazing.

          I guess it’s for consistency. M, G and T are all capital and n, p or μ aren’t relevant for bits and bytes. Makes sense to also capitalize the k.

          Edit: In case of kbps and Mbps, the capitalization is usually correct though…
