> You cant choose between capital and normal letters as you feel like,
they have different meenings. This is important for both the units
themselfs as well as the prefixes.

This is true... but there is T, T and T. Tesla (unit), Temperature
(fomulae) and Tera (multiplier). I think the usage is the dominating
discrimanator here, especially amongst friends. :-)

> For instance, a k means the kilo prefix, where as K means Kelvin.

Whilst true I have always thought that this does make for some
confusion. I think K is the only multiplier over 1 that exists in the
lower case. G, M and T being the most common others. Also annoying for
the unwary, the kg is a base unit and not the gramme.

In primary school I learnt with the CGS system (actually c.g.s. standing
for centimetre, grams (sic) and second where these were the base units)
but the UK educational system moved over to the SI in the 1970s.
