Hmmm, how about:

2000 ps is xxxx

I checked the kernel code and it looks like
folks usually put a space between the number
and the unit.

I looked into the rules of a bunch of publishers
again. It seems like there's a rule about putting
a space between a number and a unit, but when the
unit is a symbol, that's an exception:

space:

10 kg
10 ℃
10 h

no space:

22°36′48″N, 114°10′10″E


Thanks,
Yanteng
