## Unit fields

Every value-plus-unit field asks the user to think like a database. Drop the unit dropdown: collapse one value plus one unit picker into one natural-language field that stores the canonical number.

This wins for one value plus one unit pair. Keep the form structure people expect, but stop making each value carry a separate required unit picker.

The `/docs#forms-ux` demo shows five realistic before/after forms:

- Finance: Without lingo, Budget value plus currency picker, rate value plus %/bps mode, settlement value plus duration unit. With lingo: `1250 usd`, `25 bps`, `2 days`. The app stores USD, percent, and days. Currency is built in; no live FX implied.
- Recipes: Without lingo, Ingredient amount plus cup/mL/L picker, oil amount plus tsp/tbsp/mL picker, cook-time picker. With lingo: `1.5 cups`, `2 tbsp`, `45 min`. The app stores mL and minutes while accepting prep-sheet wording.
- Engineering: Without lingo, Clearance, pressure, axial load, and torque each require their own unit selector. With lingo: `3/4 in`, `32 psi`, `120 lbf`, `35 Nm`. The app stores mm, kPa, N, and N⋅m. Force and torque are built in.
- Fitness: Without lingo, Body weight, distance, duration, and energy each carry a separate mode choice. With lingo: `165 lb`, `5 km`, `42 min`, `450 Calories`. The app stores kg, meters, minutes, and kcal for analytics.
- Medical: Without lingo, Dose volume, interval, height, and cuff pressure selectors create a noisy intake layout. With lingo: `1.5 tsp`, `6 hr`, `5'11"`, `120 mmHg`. The app stores field-local canonical values; medication units remain domain-owned.

**Unit-entry mistakes are expensive.** The Mars Climate Orbiter was lost to pound-force vs newton-seconds; the Gimli Glider ran out of fuel from a lb/L vs kg/L slip; insulin doses measured in mL instead of units are a documented harm class. A single canonical field removes the class.
