   Oh it is kind of subtle -   
      
      Ohms, a measure of resistance   
      
      
        -and-   
      
      
      Mhos = 1/Ohms, a measure of conductivity   
      
      
   See, Mho is ohm backwards because it is the inverse.  It's also known as   
   1 Mho = 1 Siemens.  I think Siemens is preferred today as Mho was sort   
   of an ad hoc name, and not very official, but you should be able to   
   bring it up on google if you like.
