"It is usually expressed in coulombs per volt of potential change,
that is, in terms of FARAD......."  <-- See Van Nostrand

Ain't nuttin natural about a coulomb either.... Absolute coulombs,
international coulombs, deposition of 0.001118 grams of silver from
a silver nitrate solution, abampere-second/10, and other real exciting
trivia. You wanna volta ? I'll see your emf and raise you a
STANDARD CELL. International vs absolute, difference of 34 parts per 
10^6 indeed. Here, NATURAL this, bub :-)

Far be it from me to criticize you for dumping on someone, but if you're
gonna do a flame, you should at least try to get it right.
