>So far,  I have not seen caps *marked* in nF.

In the UK, and probably the rest of Europe. Polyester box caps, and the
larger polypropylene types are all marked in nF. You will see values
like 680n, 10n and so on.

Many engineers refer to uF as 'muff' and pF as 'puff'. Poor old nF just
gets called 'enn'.

An old circuit simulator I used would measure resistance in K. Thus 0.1K
was the only valid form of 100R. It was pretty stupid in many other ways
too. Like the op-amp that would always rail out at +/-12V, even if the
supply voltage was +/-6V!
