Subject: Wrong SI unit specification

In this group, where so many people are eager to correct anybody writing
ADA instead of Ada, it astonishes me so often that wrong SI unit names are
used.
Just a late quote:

mS is NOT Millisecond, it is Millisiemens, where Siemens (in former times also
called Mho) is the inverse of Ohm.
>>> SI units are case-sensitive. <<<
Ms is Megasecond
Also kilo is not K, but k, so Km is wrong.
It just hurts a physicist like an Adavotee hurts seeing ADA.
