Short name of square foot

The short name of square foot is 'foot'. The convention for squared quantities seems to be to leave blank, so will raise a PR to do this.

@mcapocci thank you for raising this issue. We can confirm that both "square" and "inch" face the same issue of having the short: name wrong:

unitsdb/units.yaml

Lines 1395 to 1397 in 1b2ee21

	"NISTu45":
	dimension_url: "#NISTd8"
	short: foot

unitsdb/units.yaml

Lines 1420 to 1422 in 1b2ee21

	"NISTu46":
	dimension_url: "#NISTd8"
	short: inch

Curious since this is your first ticket on GitHub and to UnitsML -- how did you find us? 😉 We are very honored!

Hi! I work for a maritime classification society, and a consortium of classification societies are using UnitsML in the specification of a common file format OCX.

As always units are a tricky thing, and I've found I cannot decipher and convert without your units DB.

This is fantastic news! We would love to support the OCX standard.

In fact, we are considering setting up a page on unitsml.org to list out organizations/projects that use UnitsML. Would OCX be interested in having your logo listed there? We will link back to https://3docx.org/ (or a location of choice, of course)!

Best to use the contact page (here) or email the coordinator directly .

I'm sure he'd be glad to know you're aware of us!

Closing as #34 is merged.
