This must lead to all sorts of problems.

Yes, it lead Hugh to make the idiotic statement that Kg x m = work. This is because in the English system they are very sloppy with "mass" and "weight", using pounds (lb) for both. If you are careful you use lbm for mass and lbf for force. In SI, Newtons are Force = mass x accel = kg m/s2. Sloppy Hugh thinks Kg will do, so he has now decided he can lop off m/s2 (three units) in defining work, whereas before he tossed in 1/s (one unit) at his whim. I give up with him. He is most definitely going downhill.
