> As a kid I was taught to use "unità" (unit) to refer to the numbers below ten (e.g. "add up the units first, then carry the tens.."). Arithmetic instruction in English uses "unit" in the same way. However, since "unit" is a highly overloaded term, I think the idea of "uno" is a good one, at least for English. For Italian and Spanish, etc., probably not so much.
