    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.

                                          C'mon - quatre vingt dix rolls off the tongue! (and it's the reason I can only count to 69 in French when I'm drunk. The maths gets too hard)

                                          It's easier in Switzerland, they use septante, octante, nonante instead of soixante-dix, quatre-vingts, quatre-vingt-dix. In Belgium they use some bastardised version with septante, quatre-vingt, nonante IIRC.
