    That is an excellent point. Yeah, PSI would totally read as pounds times square inches which would be something else entirely. Adding in the extra P would fix it, too. PPSI. Suppose it’s another thing that people just have to get used to, haha.

      I would even say, it reads as pounds times seconds times inch

      Or pikoseconds times inch

      Or pikoseconds times square root of -1 but now I’m being silly

      Well, I don’t have to get used to it, but some people seam to handle it well.
