MegaHz 10^6, milliHz 10^-3. aka typo. however part of
standard usage
would dictate MHZ and mhz being the same unless the context was extremely
slow events.
Yeahbut the same people who put "mhz" in ads are the same folks who
talk about the "ASC-2" character sets and "DB-9" connectors. Just
because they're common errors doesn't mean that I'm going to repeat them.
(Reminds me of Bill Kavanagh at Caltech, who pointed out the
silliness of the phrase "partial vacuum" repeatedly... I'll completely
leave out the concept of "vacuum leak"!)

But Allison does NOT make those kinds of errors. That's part of what
makes it so notable and what makes it so irresistable to chide her when
she does make a typo.
