That's ghastly Bill. <g!> On another subject, the discussion of radians reminds me of a funny story from grad school. We had a large traffic circle (roundabout) near campus, which we used to always give directions for in radians: "Go to traffic circle, go around three pi over four, and take the exit to campus." Among physicists it was all very clear, but you can imagine the expression on non-physicist faces when they heard that one.
