...I've always used the Metre as the standard unit. It is in SI, which is the modern implementation of the metric system.

A better example would be kilogram. Although that's just because it was originally known as "grave" (with a gram being a thousandth of a grave), but with grave also being a synonym for the title "Count", it fell out of favour with the French Revolution.


So decibels would likely be your best example then.

Point taken, kilogrammes too. I guess that's what happens when you let the French look after the standard units.

Perhaps I should begin a campaign to get everybody to use metres and grammes, so that for large masses or distances we can have gigagrammes and megametres.

What was that clicking noise, it was really confusing. Anyone know?

Man, you guys in the gramme/kilogramme discussion are registering Zoidberg levels of uncoolness on the Cool-o-meter. For shame.

I'm actually aiming for negative cool.
