Sirs:
Spanish has no letter K.....
When Le Systeme Internationale d'Unites (SI - is made mandatory for use by
ALL nations), I wonder what is the issue - Spanish has no letter K.... I am
sure 'every SCRIPT' can be transformed to spoken dialect e.g Hindi has
'k,ka...; urdu has 'kaf, kaaf etc.'

Spanish has no letter K, except in words borrowed from other languages,
like
kilómetro (symbol km).

How would you make all countries spell it the same?
For example, in Welsh (and I think in Italian?) there is no concept of the
letter 'k' - so how does that work?
