Another important thread.

The wrongest thing I found out this morning is that engineers use j for root -1, rather than the correct i. Pete or Thor need to get in here and defend this travesty.

Wiki says, "In contexts in which use of the letter i is ambiguous or problematic, the letter j or the Greek ι is sometimes used instead.[a] For example, in electrical engineering and control systems engineering, the imaginary unit is normally denoted by j instead of i, because i is commonly used to denote electric current."

Nobody sits with the double Es at lunch because they are unintelligible.
 
i is current.

j is the root of -1.

there is no travesty.

Bread innit.
Bread is bread. Shape is irrelevant.
