Since the choice of unit system in Prime only determines how results are displayed, all units (whether official in SI, USCS or CGM) can be inserted.

Now "gm" is NOT the oficial symbol to represent the unit "gram" in the SI, so it should be modified to "g" .

For further consistency with the SI, the default font for units should be changed from italic to upright (roman) style. That would also help to distinguish the unit g from the normal gravity g.
