List of all units and their acronyms

For love of god, DO NOT use imperial units. No inhces, farnheit, yards and this nonsense.

Use only proper SI standardized units or metric (really, imperial will not be tolerated). If there is unit that is complex (like m/sor V/ns) use proper formatting. If not possible (complex equation consisting of square root, exponents etc), use this guide (or something similar to LaTeX notation, without \) if you're not sure.
