Unfortunately converting 1 calorie to joules ruins everything 4.2J per calorie. Makes it annoying to calculate how quickly you can boil water for instance.
A BTU (British thermal unit) is the energy required to raise 1lb of water 1 degree Fahrenheit…which may actually be even dumber, since it’s temperature sensitive to begin with. Dumbest of all, the Brits don’t use that unit very often. The US, and, I assume, Liberia use it all the time.
Some people will use some letter salad just to avoid the imperial system /s

Iirc the Joule is favoured over the Calorie in the SI system.
Is that something people wonder about? I doubt it.
It’s not like physicists, chemists or engineers are a thing.
They are in fact 3 things
I’m glad you admit yourself it’s not a thing
As someone with both solar panels and a water kettle I promise you this is something I frequently wonder about!

Oh, I love these freedom units

Don’t imperial have like 3 different letter sizes depending on the country?
From what I have found, the US has 216mm × 279mm while Canada has 215mm × 280mm which is close enough.
