< thought i and j were unit vectors? <'s just talking about how the units for every value are preceded by an SI prefix like µF or kΩ so < has to convert everything to standard form before < can work anything out.

Ah, that's something else, <'s referring to imaginary numbers. Mathematicians tend to note it as i, while engineers note it as j.

And as for dealing with standard form, oh yes, there are a lot of those. <'s tripped up more times than <'d like to admit thanks to confusing them during calculations, especially with capacitors. Still, <'s had those prefixes drilled into <'s head at this point, so < isn't quite as prone these days. It also helps that <'s calculator has an Engineer mode which automatically gives answers within said prefixes (i.e. it'll only show x103(kilo), x106(mega), x109(giga) and so on, and adjust the numbers accordingly.)

If it's a scientific calculator ^'s using, it might have such functionality built into it, <'d recommend checking its manual.

Poor cat. :(

< points out that the use of i and j (and k) for unit vectors descends from their use as the different imaginary units for quaternions, as famously defined by a graffito on a bridge in Dublin!

<'s calculator does have this option actually, but only for displaying the output in engineering notation and not for inputting, so < still has to remember them all if < wants to do any calculations.

<'s going to make a pie for ^'s birthday.

<'s also going to make a special gift and a pie to ^'s birthday and it's going to be awesome!

< is mildly curious as to how much effort it took ^ to put a "correct" apostrophe in his post.

< thinks that it might show up under "BIRTHDAYS".

< had to go home earlier because of a gas leakage today.

None, as < knows the key combos for smart punctuation.

< doesn’t have automatic correction enabled though.

<'s package might be stuck in a post office in <'s state. It has been there since the 20th, when it was processed there a second time. Tried USPS tracking and it doesn't recognize the tracking number. :|
