> I don't have any problem with the "105" as the value

Me neither, just one of those things you need to learn. As parts get
smaller and don't have room for some types of marking you will have
to figure out what a 227 cap is. Apart from old valve circuits you
hardly see cap values expressed in pF much past 1000, and you
don't see 470pF expressed as 0.47nF

I have a small cut strip of small ceramics marked '100' I was sent as
100pF, but are 10pF. It's all about the noughts. When trying to teach
some kids resistor markings, they're OK with brown-black-red-gold,
but glaze over at brown-black-black-brown-brown, which are actually
much more likely to be sold around here at retail level

Maybe a certificate from the Electrical Engineering College Of East Latin.
I've heard it's very nice there this time of year and worth the day trip=20
