:) I'm kind of ambivalent to the singular/plural/spelling issues. The main thing I object to is breaking apart a unit name. Maybe a better example would be tower pound. IMHO that should not be tower::pound (it should be English::tower_pound), so nor should nautical miles be nautical::miles. Maybe SI::accepted::nautical_miles, or just SI::nautical_miles? --Michael Fawcett
