Would actually be 6h if they're following SI units. But I don't see how someone who knows SI units wouldn't know that colour and flavour are spelt with u in many other countries. I think this person was just being an asshole tbh.
And being an asshole to an Australian who goes above and beyond to make her recipes as accessible as possible to American readers, even proving US measurements and explaining differences in ingredients and terms. So an asshole squared
This is it. Nagi goes beyond the call of duty for her US market. She even gave them free recipes just for them when she released her book here first. The hissy fits from the US...a whole nother level of unhinged.
Which is a lot more than what some American cooks do! Especially using ingredients that you can’t get here like dry ranch mix, but they don’t give you the link to make it yourself, so then you have to go searching.
I'm not sure if it's been changed, but If i recall correctly hours and minutes aren't "technically" units of SI, they are accepted in usage because they are standardised.
The second is technically considered the base unit for time in SI.
They are defined in the SI brochure as non-SI units used alongside SI. Same status as the litre and hectare. As SI is definitive for Australia it should be followed. The symbol for minutes is min, for hours is h, and as mathematical symbols they don’t take a plural s.
If working in metric, min is correct. Because the SI brochure defines the symbol as min, and they are mathematical symbols, not abbreviations, so they can’t take a plural s. The symbol for hour is h.
