on smallbear now and jeez it's confusing

all the caps are listed as mf microfarads which on our vero board layouts are listed as pF / nF or uF

as i understand from above mf and uf are the same so i need to convert all these decimals from uf to pf or nf

so considering i was considering just getting their starter packs like

http://smallbear-electronics.mybigcommerce.com/capacitor-low-voltage-50-volt-poly-film-assortment/

which lists the parts as

.001 mf, .0047 mf, .01 mf, .047 mf, .1 mf, .0022 mf, .0033 mf, .0068 mf, .022 mf, .068 mf

if i convert correctly i shift the decimal point three spaces to the right to get nf right? meaning the above is this?

1nf, 4.7nf, 10nf, 47nf, 100nf, 2.2nf, 3.3nf, 6.8nf, 22nf, 68nf

and then another 3 points for pf?

1nf = 1000pf

i think im right just checking as the use of m not u is freaking me out
