v for frequency?

It sounds cooler if you say a chain by a furlong.

Too bad it is not like pipe sizes where they seem to stay the same and the actual size seems to be a lot larger than what it is called.

I seem to recall that it depends on whether your talking about pipe or tube. Pipe (as in 15mm copper or plastic pipe) is always 15 mm in outside diameter. Whereas ½” tube, will always have a ½” internal diameter.

Or it could be the other way around. ;-)

Pipes have to mate with threads or glued/soldered couplings. Wood is nailed, so size doesn't matter much.

I haven't measured copper wire to see how honest it is.

Wood has to sort of mate. Just think how a floor would look if some older sheets of plywood were placed with the newer, smaller szes.

Fire a Mac from a Panzer.

Same here.

I was taught i in Maths, then changed to j for electronics. Stupid Maths teachers.

I studied physics at uni and always used f. The v is too close to the English v for velocity. You'd have v=vλ

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.

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.
