Just in case anyone is confused by this: (maybe it&#x27;s just me?)<p><pre><code>    &#x2F;&#x2F; Alan&#x27;s notes:
    &#x2F;&#x2F; I&#x27;d like to put a mu in here for micro.
    &#x2F;&#x2F; Should we adopt the questionable Electrical Engineer policy of using
    &#x2F;&#x2F; &quot;u&quot; to indicate micro?  I&#x27;ve added &quot;uF&quot; for microfarad later on to
    &#x2F;&#x2F; tackle the most common case.
</code></pre>
This is referring to using the practice of using the character &quot;u&quot; instead of &quot;µ&quot; as the SI prefix for micro-, presumably because it&#x27;s easier to type &#x27;u&#x27; or because a lot of stuff is still stored in ASCII. Notably, this appears to be the only SI prefix that uses a non-Latin character, thus the inherent problems when used in documents&#x2F;systems that only support the Latin alphabet or otherwise make it difficult to use non-Latin characters.<p>Disclosure: Graduate of EE. Didn&#x27;t know we were causing so many issues all this time with our rebellious use of microfarads :)
