- projektfu 5y agoWhat is the likelihood that a Greek article about electronics would use the Ohm sign when the Omega is right there on the keyboard?
- dotancohen 5y agoEnglish language physics texts routinely use the proper symbols, despite the fact that e.g. V is right there on the keyboard.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoOmega is the proper symbol for Ohms. English-language physics texts use V when they're denominating in volts, too.
- klabb3 5y agoSo there is no "v that signals the author knows some trivia"? Disappointed.

Sure, just like they benefit from knowing the difference between 'V' and volts; 'J' and Joules; 'K' and Kelvins; 'A' and Amperes; π the letter, π the circle constant, and π the exotic particle; 'm', meters, and mass; 's', seconds, and position; 'g', grams, and gravity... 假設所有的意義都有自己的符號,那就太好啊
