Abstract

The aim of this article was to oppose the article of M. P. Foster “Principles for constructing notation in unit systems and their application to the SI” that was published in the discussion forum of this journal in 2012 and which submitted a proposal for some changes in the notation of the International System of Units (SI). Although this proposal is relatively well elaborated and responsible, it can still bring more problems than benefits. These problems are analysed, and the proposal is refuted in this article.
