Oh, yeah! For the Chinese teachers: KTV (that's a karaoke bar, the college students love it).

Have you included chemical elements: H2O, CO2, etc?

I'd noted them down, but as Glenski said, "if you're going to use mph, why not open a physics or chemistry book and use all of the units of measurement there?". That is, I'm not sure that in everyday conversation we talk of H2O as opposed to water. (O2 though maybe, thanks to the O2 arena in London, and the mobile provider of the same name). Basically, when I update the list eventually, I'll probably break the items up into clearer sublists (e.g. "Names of chemical elements and compounds or whatever"), with some of those sublists more appendical pointers than main learning-speaking focus.

Dear Jbhughes,

Cross-contamination of threads, but I love it. You'd better watch out, though. If CarolinaTHeels sees this, he/she is going to come after you next, just as soon as he/she disposes of tttompatz's body.

Regards,
John

Dear spiral78,

The Final Frontier, perhaps.
