Other EE annoyances: capacitors are often marked with their capacitance as, say, "100 MFD". No, it's not megafarad, it's not millifarad; it actually means microfarad! That's annoying in several ways, including really abusing the SI prefixes (milli is "m" and mega is "M") and because the symbol for farad is simply "F", not "FD".
