Sure - I understand what's going on. It's just that, typically, one can "see" the nature of the units involved in such a statement. Often enough, when some politician or news reporter makes a statement like "Ontario exported 2.5 GW of electricity last year", or "an electric kettle uses about 1.5 kWh", the meaninglessness jumps right out because the units make no sense in the context. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
