Well, while we're doing the Rosetta stone here ...
load (ezunits);
4.532 ` N/m^2 `` lbm*foot/(s^2*foot^2);
=> 3.045884688 ` lbm/(foot*s^2)
Differences:
(1) separate units from quantities
(right & left sides of backtick)
(2) concise notation
(3) conventional abbreviations
(4) conventional capitalization
