Das englische "scale" verweist ebenfalls noch auf Skalenniveau, was auch nah am Thema ist, aber die Maßeinheit (Sekunden, Bier, Lichtjahre) wird potentiell mit jeder Umrechnung verwässert ("halbe Stunde"~#Secs/3600*0.5 ist ja nichts anderes als eine Transformation innerhalb des Intervall-Skalenniveaus)

Somehow my first beer is faster then my last (wich is commonly smaler, too), so it depends a lot on the time you start with it. So it's the same as with ly.
