Hello bobharvey, norbert2, cs, ecastro and others,
as the original poster of this issue I would like to thank you for the
attention given.
I'm an electrical engineer and just want to add that engineers are *very*
used to see large or small numbers with expoents multiples of 3. For example,
very common capacitors values 100nF (100E-9 farads) and 47uF (47E-6 farads).
Some very common resistors values are 10kohm (10E3 ohms) and 1Mohm (1E6 ohms)
and MOSFETS (something similar to a transistor) have Rdson (resistance when on)
values like 12.6mohm (12.6E-3 ohms).
Civil and mechanical engineers talk about 56MN (56E6 newtons) and not
5.6E7N, for example. It's very rare somone to talk about "resistance of 1.0E4
ohms".
Given that, I also want to reinforce norbert2 opinion that this should have
a higher priority.
Best regards,
Brusque
