Here is the list so far:

amp             ampere
"k"             kilometer
kilo            kilogram
kilo            kilometer
meg             megaliter
meg             megohm
klick           kilometer (or km/h?)
micron  micrometer
mil             millimeter
nit             candela per square meter
puf             picofarad (pF)

As if anyone on this lists needs a reason, the multiple uses of "meg" and 
"kilo" is reason enough not to use such shortened versions.

On the other hand, I don't see myself starting to say "three milliamperes" 
rather than "three milliamps."
