Yeah, meant the unit. Sorry for the imprecise language. A volt is a volt, it doesn't change. The value of a dollar changed even during the time it took you re

  Exactly WHAT “value” of a dollar changed while I read your comment? Since “the value” of everything else in dollars is what the unit “dollar” is supposed to measure, it’s inevitable that the value of the dollar in terms of everything else also changes. If your kid grows bigger, you can't complain to your wife that “A foot was a third of a Little Joey last year, but it's only a quarter of him now! Damn, the foot sucks as a unit of measure!” Or, well, of course you could, but that would be idiotic. When the price of bread doubles, then yes, the dollar that used to be worth a loaf is now worth only half a loaf. Complaining about how that is “a change in the value of a dollar” is about as smart as complaining about how the foot isn't the same amount of Little Joeys as it used to be.
