Yes, I'm going by the square of its length. Though I like your way of thinking

It's the ISO banana, that's kept in a freezer in Switzerland and only taken out once every year to adjust other bananas.

People in english speaking parts of of Canada place the dollar sign before, but people in Quebec put it after, at least when they write in French.

You laugh, but "Professional" news organizations routinely fuck up kilowatts and kilowatt-hours when they talk about electric power.

We should replace kWh with Joules as harm reduction

This is true for all currencies in my language except for $, €, and £ which goes in front. Maybe ¥ as well but that is rarely seen in text so I don't know. As for rupies

In another thread I was laughing about how U.S. utilities charge for electricity by the kilowatt hour, but charge for piped natural gas by the "therm," which is 100,000 BTUs. BTUs are the energy required to raise 1 pound of water by 1 degree Fahrenheit, like a shitty imperial calorie.

Confusingly, most gas appliances are marketed as being a certain number of BTUs per hour, but people often omit the implied "per hour" when talking about them, and will talk of their 12,000 BTU stove burner or 30,000 BTU water heater.

Talking through residential energy use without having a solid command of what unit means what would be confusing.

100% this. I can't tell you how only now, as a middle aged man, do I qualitative understand concepts like continuity and conventions like the complex number plane. No one thought it was important to explain, took the time to do so, or helped me develop the clarity of thought to really understand it.

Getting the right answers is radically different from understanding a concept.

Factor label conversions. They get really complicated in chemistry as well.

Units are important. The teacher is right.
