Olin,  I think you did a good job on this.

As one that has been in electronics for 69 years I grew up with mf used for
microfarad and mmf  as micromicrofarad .  I have changed to the new
(correct)
notation.  Even though I have changed I still revert to the old way at
times.
As one that taught electronics, from basic concepts through microwaves for
four
years, and has a BS in electronics Engineering( Microwave and RF options)
and have designed all types of electronic equipment from consumer through
the
USA space program (the guidance and command system on Saturn SA5) I feel
that I am not stupid when I sometimes revert to the mf notation.  I still
own a
small Co. that manufacture three products and do custom design of any thing
a
customer wants in the way of electronics. With all of this if I still
occasional us mf or
mmf  but I don't think this means I don't care, It just means I had 40 years
that way and
the old notation just slips in at times.  However the equipment I design
now days
is used mostly local so it does not impact too many people.
