Jim & friends:
(a) smoking something, or (b) something political was going on.
There is always some smoke beneath a fire.
Isn't there any need to 'universalise/standardise' counting of large/small
numbers and create a bridge between East & West(Europe inclusive). I have
talked of this need since 1982 in my book: Toawards A Unified Technology, as
Universal Decimal Numeral (UDN) Code. This can be viewed at:

Subject: [USMA:36341] Symbol for deka/deca, and now hecto
Date: Tue, 21 Mar 2006 12:11:58 -0700
I'm up to the H's in this Weights & Measures dictionary, and it turns
out the CGPM did the same thing with H for hecto that they did with D for
deca -- before 1960 they were capital letters, after 1960 they were lower
case.
Based on the number of comments I received, both on list and off list, I
still cannot see adequate justification for these decisions: make SI
less consistent because some people were not using "D"
or "H" correctly?
Maybe there was some justification no one on this list is aware of, but
so far I can only conclude that the CGPM delegates were either (a)
smoking something, or (b) something political was going on.
