We manufacture electrical equipment so we ought to know about the terminology and the correct form of the abbreviations. Mrs B who works for me in an admin capacity would readily confirm that I am a pedantic old git about that. As will any of my guys.
I just happen to think that getting it right or worse, wrong, reflects on the professional image we would like to portray.
I don't know if the same conventions for units are the same in the US as in UK.
I often see kva, or Kva when it should be kVA. Even some transformer manufacturers who should know better do that.
And best not to confuse mw or mW with MW.
Spelling is another matter. Some of the things I see on forums defy belief. I don't often comment on either of these issues. Usually context makes the meaning clear.
It does sometimes surprise me though. And dyslexia seems to be claimed by so many, it has reached pandemic status.
Enough.
