I'm sorry, but I really think this objection is silly. In almost 40 years
of teaching physics I have never known this phraseology to be
mis-interpreted, nor did any danger of this happening ever even occur to me
until I first saw it exposed on this list. A language which can peaceably
live with "lb." as the abbreviation for "pound" has long since learned that
there are more serious battles to wage than the proper choice of a harmless
sound.
