Ok, call me anal, but this bugs me a lot, especially since I have to review and write for scientific journals and incorrect unit abbreviations are required to be fixed before publication. So ... the abbreviation for the prefix kilo- meaning 1000 is 'k', the abbreviation for the unit of power, a watt, is 'W', and the abbreviation for an hour is 'h' Therefore the proper abbreviation for a kilowatt-hour is 'kWh'. That's all thanks. http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilowatt_hour
Thanks. I'm a technology infrastructure specialist and it irritates the crap out of me when people ask for 100Gb of storage.
I was thinking 125mB equal 1 Bit! Speaking of odd units I hosted a collegiate bicycle race and listed the distances in Mach([email protected])-Seconds. I got lots of weird comments when everyone got there.
I don't mind if people like to measure time in micro-fortnights, but I must insist, since this is an EV forum, that we abbreviate kilowatt hours properly, kWh
