!!! tip "Case Sensitive"
Support for scientific notation is case sensitive. For example, `1E3` is a valid value, but `1e3` is not.
### Feet and Inches
Shorthand notation is supported for feet and inches. For example, the following values would all be considered *valid*:
- `3'`: `3 feet`
- `6"` : `6 inches`
However, note that compound measurements (e.g. `3'6"`) are not supported.
### Case Sensitivity
The pint library is case sensitive, and units must be specified in the correct case. For example, `kg` is a valid unit, but `KG` is not. In particular, you need to pay close attention when using SI prefixes (e.g. `k` for kilo, `M` for mega, `n` for nano, etc).
