I might suggest, in that case, a clarification to dd(1):

"Where sizes are specified,	a decimal, octal, or hexadecimal number	of
bytes is expected.	 If the	number ends with a ``b'', ``k'', ``m'',	
``g'', or ``w'', the number is multiplied by 512, 1024 (1K), 1048576 
(1M), 1073741824 (1G) or the number of bytes in an integer, 
respectively."
