    That’s interesting. Obviously, you’d put a center dot to disambiguate millihertz from meter-hertz, but I can’t recall ever having learned a rule about that. So some combinations of units are inherently ambiguous?

      I can’t tell which unit is more cursed: millihertz or meter hertz. Surely, anything that could be measured in millihertz is more natural to measure as a period, or as revolutions per minute or something, right?

        You know, I always figured optometry involved like, super complicated math and shit.

        Turns out it’s just basic arithmetic.

        Kinda like programming, in a way.

        Speed as meter per hertz is a rather odd case, like with a machine that goes in discrete steps.

        In any case, I never use implied multiplication (and others) and always simply put everything where it should be.

    Saw a video using mHz recently and it took way too long to realise the readout was correct and nort a misspelling of MHz …
