when you do ls -l -h one sometimes encounters files which have kilo size. ls -l -h then uses "K" to display this. This is wrong and unallowable. It must be "k". You don't have a choice: it is standarised by the SI system as "k". See for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI . Standards have to be respected regardless of personal preferences.

If you prefer SI-formatted output, the --si option is probably the right choice, and does what you request.
