"Ohm" is a word in ENGLISH
The standard unit in the measure of electrical resistance,
being the resistance of a circuit in which a potential difference of
one volt produces a current of one ampere. As defined by the
International Electrical Congress in 1893, and by United States
Statute, it is a resistance substantially equal to 109 units of
resistance of the C.G.S. system of electro-magnetic units, and is
represented by the resistance offered to an unvarying electric current
by a column of mercury at the temperature of melting ice 14.4521 grams
in mass, of a constant cross-sectional area, and of the length of 106.3
centimeters. As thus defined it is called the international ohm.
It has been more wittily than charitably said that hell is paved with good intentions. They have their place in heaven also.
WORD SUGGESTIONS
Several years ago, Andy was sentenced to prison. During his stay, he got along well with the guards and all his fellow inmates. The warden saw that deep down, Andy was a good person and made arrangements for Andy to learn a trade while doing his time. After three years, Andy was recognized as one of the best carpenters in the local area. Often he would be given a weekend pass to do odd jobs for the citizens of the community.... and he always reported back to prison before Sunday night was over.The warden was thinking of remodeling his kitchen and in fact had done much of the work himself. But he lacked the skills to build a set of kitchen cupboards and a large counter top which he had promised his wife. So he called Andy into his office and asked him to complete the job for him.But, alas, Andy refused. He told the warden, "Gosh, I'd really like to help you but counter fitting is what got me into prison in the first place".
