you must be aware that the correct English spelling of 100 cm is one Metre.
A meter is an instrument that measures a variable. As we in England seem to
be the ones who originated the hash that eventually became English, 'twould
seem most fair if our spelling is more correct that the bastardised U.S.
versions that we oft smirk at! Perhaps you were sleeping, after all?
I agree that cycles per second is more descriptive than Hz ... aren't we an
odd lot who prefer to use dead men's surnames to decribe a scientific
process than to call a spade a spade.
