I just shit myself looking at those instructions. And I'm not going to be even buying one!
Still, my 3rd Party Leader-Murder-pistol is a 'Non-Transformering' transforming toy, so...

That's what happened to the units. What, indeed, is a unit.
Units doesn't mean anything. A ten is ten ones. Not ten 'units'.

That's what happened to the units. What, indeed, is a unit. Units doesn't mean anything. A ten is ten ones. Not ten 'units'. The unit is used to account for the singularities. So 10 units becomes a Ten. Which you know anyway because you're not an idiot. Your question is really 'Why is it called a unit and not one? Unit sounds stupid.' To whit I have no idea.

Forgot about their air/boat shipments. I'm sure I ordered the cheaper one!
Suffice to say at this price I'm glad the next few MPs are repaints I don't want!

Unit sounds stupid.' To whit I have no idea. Indeed, what I was saying was in Primary teaching these days a 'unit' is called a 'one' because it removes the extra step of needing to define 'unit' as being single digits to a five year old. Because when you're trying to establish the fundamental concept that two is twice as many as one, and not just the next word in a chanted sequence, you don't need 'units' as a label in there complicating matters. 25 is two lots of ten and five lots of one. 'Units' as a term isn't necessary.

By definition, numbers are abstract concepts, so really you can call them what you like. But our convention is that ten ones is called 'ten'. Which is Old English (German - zehn, same root). Had Latin been more dominant in the language I'm sure we'd be calling it 'dec', which is what you find in other European languages like French and Italian.
