One syllable bias > unit bias
People will adapt to as many unit names as you want to throw out, use whichever is most convenient for each occasion, adapt to changing value of each... even adapt to local usage meaning smtg different.
But they will always shorten long names to shorter ones for frequently used words. Often converging one one syllable.
"Buck", "clam", "sim", "bean", "bit"... have all been widely used at some point.
