Gimp, inkscape, and abiword use "Units", plus it sounds correct to me.


As usual I checked a few other apps, OpenOffice uses "Measurement unit"; Firefox
and Mozilla do not have this option, they probably base the margin units on the
locale as the print dialog told me I was using inches; both the KDE and GNOME
standard(?) print dialogs do not label the drop down menu, instead they simply
place it next to the numerical fields that would be effected.

Finally among the many docs at developer.apple.com a screen shot of the locale
preferences indicates they label the option "Measurement units", but the screen
shot also shows the items for the option are rather ambiguous - the option in
the picture is set to "U.S."


It is ok to stay with "Units" for English, because the available options are
identifiable as a type of measurement.

My opinion is that "Unit" (singular) or "Units" (plural) would both be
acceptable as long as the items in the drop down list matches the form of the
label, example: "Point" (singular) or "Points" (plural). 


While looking at this I decided to fix the default value for units to be
centimeters for all locales except US and PR.


Greetings,
John
