    Hence the elipsis - I can't put a dot over a three reliably (there's no HTML overstrike-and-superscript tag that I know of)

        That's what I would think, as the SI-system is fairly logical. Then you meet someone from the UK and they tell you there's x feet in an inch. It's also a nice shortcut, to change the display from msec to sec, just by setting this constant to "0" instead of "1000" :p

        Depending on the usage you might then get a "Division by zero" exception / fatal error popup window instead.

              Is that cubits / Pirate-Ninja? Did you know there is a unit called the sheppey - about ​7⁄8 of a mile (1.4 km), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque?

                        Or, perhaps it's needed to differentiate in regions where they use an Imperial Second instead of a regular one.
