Glad to see there's still pedants

The plural is still Ampere. Way I've always understood the use is along the lines of:
The Amperage is five Ampere, (or Amp).
I never add a s to the end, personally. That's the way I've always used it, anyhows.![]()

A message written in the Queen's English is difficult to misunderstand.
We're all walking on eggshells now, triple checking our posts before posting just in case something wrong could ov crept in!
You have a "5 amp fuse", but "the current in the wire is 5 amps."
It's like saying "there's a garage 10 mile down the road" when you mean "10 miles."
