Howdy,
Thanks , but Ω is pronounced 'omaega', not 'ohm'... You cant pronounce some
greek letters properly (like η) and not others :-) ... The rest is
perfect!
Well, I believe the Ω is the SI unit for resistance, Ohm, while η is
the Greek letter, of course ;)

The other thing that beats me is that every Western mathematician
pronounces π as 'pie' when in fact the Greeks call it 'pe'.

I studied CS in a UK university and I have always been told to call it
"pie". It seems that the latin people are hungry when they think of some
Greek letters... :-P
