I meant retroactively renaming a unit of measurement after a German, decades after it was established under a different name, Volts, Ohms, Amps, Farads have been used since the beginning. The one that gets me is Hertz, they had cycles per second used for almost a century, maybe longer, and they already had Hertzonian waves named after the man. As for the U.S not adopting Si units, whatever, it didn't stop them from putting several men on the moon, invent the triode vacuum tube, the transistor, the integrated circuit, the internet, satellite television, etc.
