Things are getting a bit confused when it is proper to add the suffix (KB) to a decimal string describing a memory block, file, sector, packet or partition.
Single Blocks should be described in BYTES often (512 bytes) and a multiple of 2 consecutive 512 byte blocks = 1 page 1024 bytes not (1024KB)
For example (1024KB) is actually read as (1,024,000) bytes due to the fact (K) was added to a base 10 number extending into the 1000's place.
It is not proper to add the (K) suffix to 1024, properly written as (1024 bytes), no thanks to Terabyte partitions the (K) infers we multiply by 1000.
Programmers are the worst offender adding (KB) suffix just about to any number they see below 1 megabyte.
IT does matter and gets confusing for example when correctly writing (16KB) then incorrectly write that as (16384KB) versus (16384 Bytes).
Some folks say adding a lower case alpha suffix (kb) is inferring the number to describe (Bytes) but not everyone is following that same syntax.
In other words don't be lazy instead take the time to type the word (Byte) not just quickly append the suffix (KB) when it is not proper.
