FYI: I am NOT making this list to promote such shortened versions of units, although some (amp) will be with us forever. I'm making it out of curiosity. Joe's comment about "mil" is evidence enough of why we shouldn't use such shortened names, as if any of us needed any. As to his "?", I do not recall any shorthand version of millimeter from my experience. Jim Elwell
