Counter-intuitive constant behaviour

Currently when entering

1,2 / 6,8kilo

Which is "correct", because the program first divides 1,2/6,8, then multiplies that by 1000. But it's totally counter-intuitive, because everyone doing scientific calculations understands that "1,2 / 6,8k" means 1,2 divided by 6800.

"1,2 / 6,8E3" works fine.

I guess that would be inconsistent with other constants, then perhaps it would be possible to introduce single-letter exponential modifiers that behave differently from constants?

So that "1,2 / 6,8k" would equal "1,2 / 6,8E3"?
