2001-02-16 Maybe they got your messages! Yet, the use of SI symbols is sporadic. In the first article, instead of 11 kg, we have 11 chili, 11 kilos and 11 kilograms. In the second article, only the Italian uses the "kg" symbol, the Spanish is consistent with kilos, and this time the English shows kilos. It is also interesting that the Italians use the more coherent number naming, with the word miliardi for 10^9, where as the Spanish uses "mil millones, and the English uses billion. I will continue to post metric info from this site as I get it.
