@weirdunits @gsuberland I just _have_ to mention this, as it's one of the weirder units:

In Europe, we measure fuel consumption in m² (units are volume [liters] divided by length [meters]).

In Freedom Units, they use MPG, so they measure in (1 / 👣)² or so.

I just cannot unsee that.

@buherator @gsuberland @weirdunits LOL! I legit didn't know of that, no. But then again, it's not too surprising that I'm probably not the first one to notice that :D

@buherator @gsuberland @weirdunits oh, and yes. kWh _does_ trigger me. But you know what triggers me even more? People who write kmh (instead of km/h), or even (yes, I've seen that) kW/h 😠
