Simplifying

As there are a very large number of units that may potentially be used, I've dropped the entries for abbreviation, as {{convert}} already has the functionality.

Because plurals are most often simply the singular + "s", the Unitsdemo code now performs that if the singular version of the unit exists, but the plural does not. That allows us to add new units by adding just {QID, singular name, code required by convert}. --RexxS (talk) 16:47, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
