OK, but in this case, since "Hertz" means "cycles per second", "Hertz per second" would mean "cycles per second square" (cycles per second per second), which doesn't make much sense in this case. Seconds squared are indeed used for acceleration, though, and you would also use Hertz / second to indicate the
rate of change of a non-constant frequency.
The dimension for Hertz, BTW, is second^(-1) (or 1/second).
>I also use terms like, “Miles per gallon”.
That, I believe, is at least dimensionally correct.
