We aren't rigid about imperial units versus metric, e.g., kg versus lb. Use one, or the other, or both.

Do please use modern SI units and prefixes for specifications, e.g. "100 MHz" not "100 Mc", "10 pF" not "10 μμF", "20 μS" not "20 μmhos".  Seconds are lowercase "s", Siemens (conductivity) uppercase "S".

On GRwiki, we use a space between the number and the unit. It's best to use a non-breaking space (Alt-0160).  There are handy buttons under the editor box that insert the unit with a nonbreaking space in one click.
