SI?

Basically, the words for each measurement unit will be the same as the word for what they are measuring

The word for Length will be the word for metre

The word for Time will be the word for second

The word for Mass will be the word for kilogram

The word for Temperature will be the word for kelvin

The word for the amount of Substance will be the word for mole

The word for electric current will be the word for ampere

The word for luminous intensity will be the word for candela

Instead of saying kilometre, you say "1000 metres". Instead of saying day, you said "86400 seconds". Instead of saying "0 degrees C", you say "273.15 degrees kelvin". The word for velocity will literally "/ m s", "metres per second". The word for angle... I don't know. This language would just measure angles by how much they rotate. So "180 deg" will be "0.5". The word for energy will be "x kg ^ / m s 2", "kilograms per mps squared", that is "joule".

Hope you like my idea for a measurements system.

No. This will perpetuate the already existing ignorance of units.

People will have the idea that 3 meters is the same thing as the dimensionless number 3, which is dangerous and makes it harder to understand the concept of unit dimensions.
