Madan: A good idea. However, here are some comments.
Other than Celsius, all the unit names should start with a lower-case letter. All the spelled-out prefixes should start with lower case. The solidus (/) should only be used with SI symbols, not the full names. With full names, you need to use the word "per." gram force, although commonly used in the disk drive industry, is not an SI unit. Force is measured in newtons (N). grams per square meter is not SI. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa). For tires, that's typically kilopascal. For atmospheric pressure, it's normally either hectopascal or kilopascal. meter squared and meter cubed are not SI. Spelled out, they are square meter and cubic meter. Their symbols are m� and m�. candela should be singular. You should download yourself a copy of NIST document SP 811 and/or the BIPM brochure (from http://metric1.org/dldocs.htm).

I just created a simple calendar in spreadsheet with some metric terms. You can massage it and send it across. If we can agree on a final version, then we will send that to all our friends to educate everyone about metric. I am attaching it in Star Calc and MS-Excel formats. Feel free to download it and it can be printed in just 1 page. Madan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
