I had a physics professor that would allow solutions to problems to be 
submitted in any unit measure.  Since he had TAs and grad students doing the 
grading it was no skin of his nose.  Lots of furlongs per fortnight velocity 
measurements.  Units of photon energy to describe frequency.  But when you 
describe mass as a quantity of molecules of a huge polymer it really got the 
TAs steamed.  Your homework would come back "smelling funny".  The mass one 
didn't pass muster because you couldn't invent a new unit of measure, you 
had to use a published one.
