This is getting ridiculous!
The abbreviation MFD (for MicroFaraD) was common on old diagrams and, especially, on components but mF is a millifarad - 1mF = 1,000µF - which is completely different to what you were trying to say!
Members of this forum encompass a vast skill range, from novice upwards, so it is very important that the (technical) language that you use here is comprehensible to all.
This is essentially what Trevor was saying to you in a previous post.
We have recently welcomed a native Spanish speaking member from Cuba to this forum who takes great care to post in intelligible and technically understandable English.
He is not the only non native English speaker who posts here and on other forums in a comprehensible manner.
With respect, is it not unreasonable to ask you to do the same?
