Our timid tricycle rider is welcome to try such a search. But that 
explanation is something I've given in front of classes of students for 
decades. It's fundamental and important knowledge for Engineering 
Mechanics courses, and until it's well explained, it does confuse students.

(I remember my undergraduate study partners asking "But what _is_ 
'g-sub-c'?" i.e. the conversion factor relating pounds mass and pounds 
force.

My only difficulty in typing that was deciding the best way to represent 
multiple levels of units in ASCII text without confusing those 
unfamiliar with the terms.

The Florida guy really needs to seek therapy. His obsession with me is 
way past making him look foolish, and is getting uncontrollable.
