unit swap

Keep the quantity and measure it in something the reader has handled. Words become minutes of reading, litres become baths, a yearly figure becomes orders. The safeguard is to keep both rulers on the same object, so the reader can see that one length is being read two ways rather than one number being replaced by another.

Example

Best when the unit is an accounting unit and the reader has a fluent unit for the same stuff.
