There is no way that "15MBs-1" is more clear than "15MB/s", especially in an environment which lacks the ability to give text superscript styling.

- batiudrami 2y agoPretty common physics convention, uncommon when referring to data speeds but common for other things measured over time.

- reaperman 2y agoSomeone said physics, it's also very common in engineering. But academically and professionally, I've only seen it with superscript.
- _Algernon_ 2y agoUsed that a bunch in physics class in school. Makes it much easier to calculate with units since you simply add up the exponents of the units instead of having to consider the notation around the units. Doesn't work well in pure text mediums.
- Dylan16807 2y agoEven worse when it's actually 15Mb/s.

- notpushkin 2y agoOkay, this was way funnier than it has any right to be. Мб and хз are both common acronyms in Russian, so this reads as “может быть, х** знает”, roughly: “maybe, f--- if I know”
