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. 73, Dick, PA0SE |
