Talk:Dram (unit)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Drachm and Dram

I know we're not supposed to change from one spelling to another of words, but in this case the article title does not mesh with the predominant spelling used throughout. Either the article should be retitled drachm (unit), or the usage throughout should be changed to dram. In my experience the drachm spelling for the fluid measure is archaic and current british spelling is also dram. Also, do we have a reliable source to connect the drachm monetary unit to the other units? I'm not sure one article covering all of these is the best way to go. -- cmh 23:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
