Hi !
I can answer this one :
Notation in the International system follows a simple rule. If the units's name
came from a scientist as the A from Ampere, or Hz from Hertz, it is written
with a capital letter. Otherwise it's written lower case.
BTW, gram is written with a gr because Mr Gram did not gave it's name to a mass
measure.
So we have a little litre (in French, liter in English) (l) and all derivatives
: ml, dl, cl, hl ..... and a capital Amper and all derivatives ; mA ..... And so
on.
Hope this helps !
