FR: no *engineering notation*, to keep the values clear in our mind ( scientific violates the metric prefixes set )

Open libweirdness opened this issue 11 months ago • 2 comments

People spend all our lives, except scientists, being conditioned into knowing through the metric prefixes

( the property was 3 decachains long, & 4 decarods wide, & weighed 5 megahundredweight, & was watered with 30 kilogallons of water, e.g. )

Please give us the default of having the numbers display in the way we are imprinted to think in , so we make fewer mistakes.

Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, eh?

I'm sorry I don't quite follow - what is the request exactly?

You can already specify the desired number format, and the units you want to see.

For example:

speedOfLight in mi/ms → 186.282 mi / ms
1g*10^4 in kg → 10 kg

(changed the title as I think you have a feature request, not a big per se)
