The post below got me thinking... I know we tried to get some discussion started here on this topic, rpm, but I'd like to see this issue revisited and hopefully come up with some consensus on this.
I feel quite strongly that rpm is also another... "idiocy" we could do without (sorry, couldn't find a better adjective for it). If we are to think of this property as "periodical" we could certainly think of replacing it with Hz (or a prefixed "version" of it, like cHz or mHz). If we think of "rotational speed" (in angular form) then we'd be talking about this in rad/s, I'd think. Any ideas/suggestions from our technical gurus/experts here, please? Thank you kindly.
