I'm not sure what's correct or incorrect. What color (or is it colour)
are the bands on the resistor? Seems that various countries have
different
spellings of units and words. ;-)

Dear OM,
The following matter has nothing to do with LF but as former editor
and
corrector of VERON magazine Electron I nevertheless take the liberty
to beg
your opinion on it.
In our country units that are derived from the names of scientists
are
written with a lower case letter; for instance volt, ampère, watt,
etc.;
not Volt, Ampère, Watt. When abbreviated we use a capital letter, so
V, A,
W etc. We also write "5 ohm, not 5 Ohms" (no plural). And we insert
a
space between the number and the unit: "3 V and not 3V".
I wonder what the rules are in other countries, inside [including
the
UK :-)] and outside Europe because I see a lot of variations in
spelling
of units on the reflector.
