I've never seen Mtr, sqm or gr. Even as a child, I knew the short of those unit names.

I've never seen Mtr, sqm or gr.
Even as a child, I knew the short of those unit names.
- readthenotes1 2y agoA gr (grain) is an antiquated measurement apothecaries used
- soco 2y agoMaybe they mean "when using the metric system as an American"...
- lobochrome 2y agosqm instead of m^2 is also just a way of typing it on a mobile keyboard.
- setopt 2y agoI’m more used to seeing “m2” on mobile, but it’s probably different between regions.
- jeroenhd 2y agoMore people seem to find the ² on mobile keyboards than they do on desktop keyboards. It's still rather uncommon, though. If anything, I would've expected phone keyboards to turn m2 into m².
- LinAGKar 2y agoI have seen usage of kvm (kvadratmeter) in Sweden
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoLike we need another overload of "kvm" (Kernel Virtual Machine in Linux or Keyboard Video Monitor in server switching kit)
- LordHeini 2y agoIt is highly language dependent. In Germany you will sometimes see Qm for "Quadratmeter" (m²).
- n_plus_1_acc 2y agoMostly in lowercase, especially when talking about apartments or houses
- proofrock 2y agoSame in Italy, mq.
