I would consider 33[m]=3.3[km] is even more slipshod...

Oh, come on....

In engineering literature an SI measurement is generally given as a
number followed by the abbreviated unit in braces: 330 [cm] = 33 [m]
= 3.3 [km]

Sorry for being slipshod and forgetting the braces.

P.S. Why Santa got pulled over: 3E8 [km/s], not just a good idea, its
the LAW!!!!
