Now I understand why it’s mHz and kWh!
@kfury I was like, aren't all SI & their derived units capitalised and no .. no of course they're not (m, s, etc.) and indeed the capitalised ones are named after a person. So TIL Volts, Amps and Ohms are all from names, too.
@sarajw @kfury We all remember the scientific contributions of Ferdinand Litre. (Yes, yes, that one's because lowercase L looks like 1 and I.)
@kcivey @sarajw @kfury
Yet another sad case of women being erased from Science. If you read the history, you'll find most of the work was done by his daughter Millie Litre.
