Notes on Units
Mixing Units & Plain Numbers
When mixing plain numbers with units, the nearest unit will be used automatically. This is called unit assimilation. 
300 + 20 km                                              | 320 km
$20 + 30                                                 | $50.00
Adding & Subtracting Mixed Units
When doing calculations with mixed unit types, the larger unit wins:
1km + 1,000m                            | 2 km
When units don't share a common base unit, the last used unit wins:
$200 + €200                             | €308.84
Multiplying Units
Soulver only uses units that it knows about:
10m × 10m                   | 100 m² // a supported unit
3 kg × 3 liters             | // Soulver will not give you "9 kg liters" here
Soulver will instead make an implicit rate when a supported unit cannot be created through multiplication:
$30 × 4 days                                  | $120.00
// the above is interpreted as $30/day × 4 days
Unit Formatting
Soulver will use a unit's symbol in the answer, rather than its full name. Though you may use the full name in your expression:
10 kilometers in meters                                    | 10,000 m
20 tablespoons in teaspoons                                | 60 tsp
Adding Additional Units
You can add additional units to Soulver in the "Tweak Calculator" sheet (click the cog in the top right corner) > Custom Units.
Custom units must be defined in terms of another supported unit. Creating new base unit types is not currently supported.
