Yeah, I would have been surprised if you didn't know the difference, but I 
wouldn't say that your choice of words made it at all obvious for the casual 
reader. Hopefully I added a little clarity for our less experienced readers, 
if it gets into the Gazette.

I agree that I should have taken a closer look at your second option and 
acknowledged that it was a "simpler" way of getting the same result 
as "du -k".
