I always thought the convention there was to use R

The unit thing that I find most bother with is "mil". In the PCB 
industry it means thousanth of an inch and is very widely used. However 
others in the UK use mil means millimeter or milliliter depending on the 
context (note: i'm talking about spoken english here, people do 
generally seem to use the correct abbrivation for millemeter and 
milliliter when writing)
