Going for uniqueness is a good way to find yourself in the bottom twenty-five. (Said the man who used “cubit” as a construction-related measurement.) ---

Guess “a buttload” and a “cubic buttload” are different. C’mon people, “Dollars” are the most important unit in construction. And hospitals measure their patients temperature in “degrees.” ---

On the other hand, a milliliter and a cubic centimeter are the same, in a hospital or anywhere else. ---
