Very clever, if a bit of a stretch. But what i

[nq:1]Hey, joe thatcher, if you're still there, could you perhaps give us a sentence using "per" in the sense you ... tell us why you're asking? It makes a difference. Bob Lieblich Let's see if we can get this right[/nq]
Sorry, I should have been more specific. The problem I'm having is related to physics. The problem is that although I find it very easy to understand units such as 'm/s' (metr

[nq:1]Force equals mass times acceleration. F=ma. Is "times" what you are looking for?[/nq]
Another word for multiplication that's commonly used in idiomatic expressions is "by". Thus "per" and "by" might make a pair of antonyms, but care must be taken not to confuse this "(mul

This is like saying the opposite of three is one-third.

Your conceptualizing may be flawed from the start. You say m/s = metres divided by seconds but this is not so. 5 m/s means 5 metres per 1 second and

99 metres per 1 second. I.e. the m-value changesbut the s-value is always one second. This way we can compare sp

[nq:1]For example, if somehow you end up dividing sec. * sec. / sec (seconds time seconds divided by seconds), that comes out to seconds, of course.[/nq]
Yes. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional analysis
