It is still a screwup to get any unit wrong.

I said that work is usually referenced as Watts or HP, since when was that wrong? To constantly refer to work as Joules shows that you have never gotten past a text book. Thats because Professors who have never worked in the real world accept it. But in the real world they don't care if it is so much work, thats like saying I will travel to California, or plow so many fields. They also want to know how long it will take to do that work, they don't want it to take 6 months to go to California, or 3 months to plow the field and miss planting season. No only Professors who can't make it in the real world would accept that.
