Neither did I, Jim, but I must admit that I had to pause for a
moment to fill in the missing unit.
It is not OK to omit units or unit symbols in this forum. They
are important to ease written communications to multiple readers.
The equating in this forum of the quantity names mass and weight
is also not acceptable. The multiple readers, more than a hundred, many
new to SI, makes the equating an objectional model (example), not merely
casual carelessness.
