bug#13216: head(1) man page not talking about kilobytes

Man you guys are bananas using "K" here:

       -c, --bytes=[-]K
              print the first K bytes of each  file;  with  the  leading  `-',
              print all but the last K bytes of each file

Why can't you use "X" etc. etc.?

It took 15 minutes for me to figure out that you weren't talking about
kilobytes. Yes one only has to read down further. But kindly fix it anyway.
