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.

Hilmar;

We were taught Frequency = 1/t where t= time. In fact that formula is on the back of my engineering slide rule, which can still be used to calculate LC values faster than someone using an electronic calculator.

The joke is, "What does Hertz mean"? Why is it necessary to change the name of cycles to Hertz and explain Hertz as cycles? So we just laughed at it all.
