v for frequency?

A Pak (Panzerabwehrkanone) works better.

Then you never met Mr. Planck, Einstein, Bohr etc.

And it's a nu, not a v.

Imagine the confusion in an area where i is already used for current.

G.

That's a point, why do we label ohms, but don't label miles per hour? There should be a word for speed.

I thought slack jawed Merkins said "cycles" to mean Hertz? Y'all got 60 cycles over here, our electrons does gonna move faster than dem dare ooooropeeean wonnns.

If the Os has no domension, I don't need a license for it.

Now that we're free from the oppressive jackboot dictatorship of the EU, can we now not revert to the traditional cycles per second (c/s, or simply 'cycles', etc)?

If it's that important, you can use knots.

Perhaps change to 60Hz while we're at it?

And a Chain is the length of a cricket pitch.

The reciprocal unit is the Ec.

That's barbaric. Here we measure length in (American) football fields and volume in Olympic swimming pools.

The calibration standards are cheap too.

Dem dumb yanks kept England from starving in WWII, and mostly still do. The Brits seem to have never figured out how to grow things. Or, for that matter, how to cook them.

What did the brits call frequency before the Hz was invented? Did they even have frequency?

I think they measured energy in scuttles.

Our football pitches vary in size significantly. Our normal unit of length is the London bus.

Nope. Very little agricultural produce comes from the USA. Canadian wheat, yes. USA whent, no. Our oranges come nor from Floria, but from S africa North Africa and the middle eats. Beef is from argentina Lamb from New zealand. Apart from apple marketing and mcdonalds logos we dont actually import much of anything from the US Latterly some gas and wood chips.

The Brits seem to have never figured out how to grow things. Or,

strange to hear an American use the word 'cook' I have never seen an american cook ANYTHING.

What a sad plonquer you are.

'How I Won the War' was a mildly amusing novel made into a mediocre movie with John Lennon. Set in WWII Africa when ever the natives would try to get something from the Brits, the officer would say 'That wouldn't be cricket.' When the petitioner asked 'What's cricket' a long, boring explanation was given until he got discouraged and went away.

iirc there was also a sequence about collecting stool samples from the indigenous population.

I was surprised to find there isn't an agreed on dimension. It's like hurling which expands to fit whatever field is available. The local hurling club plays on a regulation American football field which is really too small.
