Gene,
Actually, I mean italic g, the local value of gravity at a specific
location on the earth. Unless specified as g sub n, I do not mean it.

The example below mixes unit symbols with the symbol, g, for a variable
quantity which is a function of location. That is malpractice by
NIST, ASTM and IEEE standards.
If you mean g to be the numerical constant, 9.806 65 m/s^2, it should be
subscripted by zero, or by n as in NIST SP 330 (copied from BIPM).
