Imperial, metric, U.S. customary units

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding a comprehensive resource for unit specifications, including symbols and abbreviations for imperial, metric, and U.S. customary systems. Users express dissatisfaction with Wikipedia's listings, particularly regarding the classification of units like the nautical mile. Suggestions include various websites, but they do not fully meet the request for clear categorization of units by system. A notable point is that the nautical mile is identified as a historical measure used in maritime and aviation contexts, not fitting neatly into the other systems. The conversation highlights the need for a more organized reference for unit classifications.

Guys thanks for replies,

but I need something like this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Convert/list_of_units

Problem with this link is that I don't know from which system is nautical mile (they put it in "other" section) and so on ...

Some units are meaningful only in a historic sense and are not accepted as part of current systems.
