Someone's actually using nF, instead of 0.022uF or 22,000pF.

I never understood why nF is less frequently used than uF or pF. To me, the logical thing is to express the capacity in units that are between 1 and 1000, like it's done with resistors and inductors.

		I, too, had wondered; this seems particularly common in the US. My best theory is that in rough handwriting, n and u/μ can look pretty similar, and everyone sort of agreed to only use u to reduce ambiguity.
