"degrees Kelvin"

"fahrenheit"

>>8615198

For a few years, that was the correct way of saying it.

>>8615208
Yeah but just because people used to do it didn't make it right in that moment.

"Meters per second per second"

>>8615443
Nothing wrong with m/s/s.

>>8615443
>>8615453
Confusing. Is it m*s^-2 or...?
Just say metres per second squared.

I'm from Germany, so most German, English and French names get pronounced correctly (and actually most Italian and Spanish names as well whenever they show up). There are few exceptions, namely "de Broglie" or "Huygens". It's pretty fun to irritate other people with the correct pronunciation of those.

Then I was at Fermilab for half a year and holy shit they just don't give a fuck at all. I mean, they have a completely different concept of what it means to pronounce something correctly. So if I would say "Euler" correctly, they would say "What?" and I repeat "Euler, well, I believe most of you would recognize it as 'Youler'", they would accept that but have not even the trace of an interest in what the names of those scientists are actually pronounced like. No, in their minds, there is whatever some people in Europe call it and the CORRECT AMERICAN PRONUNCIATION. I swear, someone actually corrected ME and told me what the correct American pronunciation is. Couldn't believe the ignorance, but that is actually what many Americans think.

>>8616320

Shit. I wonder if I pronounce the name wrong. I say it similar to "oiler". Is that the dumb pronounciation?

>>8615198

>>8616322
That's the correct one

>>8616322
Should be alright. It's not about that though, it's just about the attitude behind it. I completely understand that "Youler" instead of Euler and "Gawshian" instead of Gaussian in the middle of an English sentence is just easier to say. But assuming it's correct because that's how we do it here in America is just a terrible attitude.

>>8616339

Oh yeah, I totally agree. Fermi Lab is in my home state. I hope most of the people being lazy with pronunciation were from out of state... Either way, sorry that you had to listen to some lazy Americans.

How? "meters per second per second" can only mean one thing. It's less ambiguous than "meters per second squared" since:

"meters per second per second" can only be [math] m/s/s [/math] which is only equal to [math] m/s^2 [/math]

whereas

"meters per second squared" could either be [math] m/s^2 [/math] or it could be [math] (m/s)^2 [/math]

>inb4 it would only be the second case if it were "meters per second all squared"
No it wouldn't. "meters per second squared" could be either case.

>>8616339

How are you meant to say Gaussian?

Meters per second squared is ambiguous. It could be m/s^2 or (m/s)^2.

i'll never get over it

>>8617073
Then why don't call it "Meters per squared seconds"?

I don't get why it matters. When someone says Kelvin, I know what they're conveying. When someone says degrees Kelvin, I know what they're saying. I care 0 about the pedantics involved.

>>8619254
Why should temperature have units of energy? I'm genuinely curious (well, I'm curious if the answer isn't "natural units," which I understand, but frankly, is a shit argument).

>>8623232
thermo was a joke. It's just an exercise in looking up the correct data table of properties and interpolating to a plug and chug formula. No real learning occurs.

>>8623286
And yet you don't know the difference between energy and temperature. Sounds like an issue with the student rather than the subject.

>>8623286
Yeah, obviously no learning occurred in your case. Sad!

>>8622772
energy can be described as force over a distance and distance (as well as mass and time in force) is more fundamental than energy i guess? idk this shit is all made up we dont even have a standard for mass yet just the shitty IPK
