Ezra,
These are good points that might, or might not, affect practicability
of usage of a term for a particular situation of use.
If the name/symbol 'gry'/'G' were to be to be adopted as a next-
generation name of a reference unit for mass (as an equivalent of the
'kilogram'/'kg'), then organizations would need to ensure that users
have information about the reference unit, and then users would need
to be alert about what measure is being expressed.
I don't know whether or not 'gry'/'G' would be difficult to use in
practice. This should certainly be carefully considered.
I think that, along with 'onc'/'o', that 'gry'/'G' is a possible
candidate for a future name and symbol for a reference unit of mass.
Cheers,
Ron

The concern I have is the similarity of the sound of "gry" and
"gram" (and "kilogry" and "kilogram").
Could be source of serious confusion. And it the symbol "g" is used,
it gets to be intolerable.
I think we need something that's different enough in sound and
symbol so that current references to grams and kilograms are still
understood after the change.
