I understand. I didn`t figure out at first that the user has to add the unit
also, I thought it will add only the number. Thinking about this it would be
useful not to let the user enter a wrong unit, for eg. 3en  instead of em,
maybe a drop down with available units would help, or any kind of validation
(which I guess it will be).

You`re right. Indeed it would be difficult.
