  The British spelling also looks a bit mental to be honest. But I’m sure it’s France’s fault.

  I’m just mad kg is the base unit, inconsistent with the rest. The prefixes for mass are all wrong (in my opinion).

  Bring back the Grave.

  For example then a joule could be G m^2^ s^-2^, no prefixes 🥹 (I dunno what the symbol for Grave would be)
