[PATCH v2 1/2] time.7: tfix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



"HZ" is the constant, and has nothing to do with the
50 Hz PAL/60 Hz NTSC mains frequencies

Without doubt the frenchest thing I've read this year, and, IMO,
a really untoward moral high horse from a document that double-spaces
compound punctuation and calls the English Index "Index English";

(Also, hilariously, Annexe 2. Réalisation pratique des définitions des
 principales unités est publiée uniquement sous forme électronique sur
 le site Web du BIPM, but it's 404ing just 16 short years after
 publication, which is very cool considering it's an /internal link/.)

Nevertheless, I find it difficult to disagree in this case,
spaces before the Hz do work better in this parenthetical
(but I want to note that this is becasuse you pointed it out,
 not because the French talked sense into me).
