Ok, I'm going nuts. Why are you guys using such a
perverse way of indicating frequency?
I was of the understanding that SI specified you display
1.0MHz as 1.0MHz, or 1,0MHz. But not 1M0 Hz.
What's the story?
I suspect it's following the (most common in Europe) convention for
showing units on electrical schematics. e.g. 3k3 for a 3.3 k resistor,
where the multiplier is used in place of a decimal point. It's done
because decimal points sometimes don't reproduce/copy well. Certainly
not necessary, and non-standard, in email.
