Request support for the following:

Can you do options? it would be nice to choose -re or -er endings for SI units.

Well, the thing is. I'm using the poscUnits22.xml file which I just found by Googling to be honest (url: http://w3.energistics.org/uom/poscUnits22.xml). And it uses English instead of US spelling by default which makes displaying something different slightly tricky.

I've added some new aliases and changed the default output to show us-style measures. There appears to be no easy and fast way to do language detection from Python in OS X so it's just default to US now :)

Please give it a try, you can download the zip here: https://github.com/WoLpH/alfred-converter/archive/master.zip and overwrite the files in your current workflow folder. Note that for the best effect you should remove the units.pickle file, it automatically gets re-generated but it might cache the old units.

Alright I'll take a look, thanks for getting my back so quickly.
