unit spellings such as 'gms' from grammes and 'mts' for metres are used all over mainland europe, which -in effect- was the first fully metric area of the world.
I believe that only a small minority of special interest groups in countries that are trying to adopt metric keep going on about the strictness of how to use metric (and thus scaring off 'middle of the roaders'). Comments like "it must be a single lower case g with exactly one space between the number and the unit' tend to only be heard from individuals from USA, UK and Canada - where, to most people, metric became a DCO unit.
