The Metric System

The metric system (International System of Units, or SI) presents a unique problem, in that much of it is based on Greek, which pronounces "c" in many cases as "s", and employs "k" for kilo. Salveto's solution is to import the SI units as foreign words, changing their spelling to conform to Salveto's orthography, but keep the symbols the same.
