You might also want to accept the British spelling "metre".

Point taken, robinwillems. I was originally going to have some derived units in here, so I guess I forgot to change the time around once I decided to just keep with the basics. One minute it is.

No, actually I believe it's simply "Kelvins" for consistency's sake.
