This is a bit misleading: As pointed out in my original post, there seems not
to be a 'correct' way 'according to English', therefore it is not true that
"100%" is the 'rule' for this language.

If we, as an open and international community, stick to international standards
(as I guess we intend to?), then we should follow the widely used and accepted
International System of Units (SI) [1], followed even by English-speaking
science institutions [2].
