I can’t tell which unit is more cursed: millihertz or meter hertz. Surely, anything that could be measured in millihertz is more natural to measure as a period, or as revolutions per minute or something, right?
EDIT: Also, TIL about dpt. Thanks!
A dioptre (British spelling) or diopter (American spelling), symbol dpt, is a unit of measurement with dimension of reciprocal length, equivalent to one reciprocal metre, 1 dpt = 1 m^−1.
I actually do have glasses, I just never bothered learning about any of the technical details behind my lenses. Optometrist measured my eyes, I chose the cheapest frame the store offered, came back a week later to pick up the glasses and that’s about it.

Tell me you don’t [Edit: need] glasses without telling me you don’t need glasses :D

Speed as meter per hertz is a rather odd case, like with a machine that goes in discrete steps.
In any case, I never use implied multiplication (and others) and always simply put everything where it should be.
