How many centiJoes in a miliBarry? And how many miliBarrys  in a microKF, or should that be the other way around? Meltdown measurements are so confusing!

It is part of the SI system of units, allowing traceability to the highest metroillogical level.

The base unit is the Barry. 1/1000 of a Barry is a milli-Barry, or a Mung in common parlance. A micro-Barry is a Joe. A nano-Barry is a Mapou.  A femto-Barry is a William. And a kilo-Barry is a Mullings.

I would have placed Barry as being the sort of person who'd want to build a wall to keep nasty foreign SI units out of the country.
