QuaternionsRock,

Eh, it’s pretty unambiguous. kW/hour is a pretty useless unit. Power surges may be measured in kW/s or something, but they don’t really have any impact over a span of more than a couple seconds.

Likewise, pounds times square inches is equivalent go kg*m^3/s^2 in SI units - which also seems pretty meaningless. Maybe there is a use for it?

What really grinds my gears is that pounds are a unit of mass, not force. The “pounds” in “pounds per square inch” is short for “pounds-force“. It’s the force of one pound of mass accelerating at 1g. Preposterous.
