[GreenKeys] Why "kHz" instead of "KHz"?

[Richard Knoppow]

    No idea at all. Kilo presumably should be capital K but its not like 
M where M (capital) means Mega while m (small) means milli or micro 
although u also means micro, as in uF or uH.  OTOH, H should probably be 
capitalized because its the initial of a name (Hertz). So should F for 
Farad or H for Henry. I do follow this convention but have no idea if 
its an established practice. Also, all those old schematics where m ohm 
meant thousand not Mega. Very confusing.
So, CPS, cps, C/S, you can't win.
