Over in Europe, they also like to use nF for nanoFarad. 10^-9, or 1000pF or 0.001 uF. Another thing they like to do there, and I like as well, is that they'll use the "n" or the "u" in place of a decimal point. 4n7 = 4700pF. Decimal points tend to get lost, which is also why most everyone uses a leading 0 in front of things like 0.0047uF
