Hertz refers to frequency of event in a time frame, eg. rattlesnake tail movements. Sound waves are measured by length and frequency. It seems appropriate to use Hertz but I understand if you dislike when people do it.

I guess I'm funny that way
in that heinrich hertz was into studying radio-frequency EM phenomena, so it seems unseemly to apply his name to a field [acoustics] that he was not directly involved in.

Please don't feel funny. I am the same way. I get used to something being a certain way and I can't really vary from the original. The first time I learned about water cooling the body faster than air, the number given was 26. The Coast Guard says water cools the body 25 times faster than air. Something in me gets twisted up every time I hear some one say 25 or I have to say 25. I am aspie and I stick to the first version of what I learn. I knew a guy who lived in one city but my first impression was the he lived in another and I could never change my mind about it.
People saying "dot" when referring to a decimal has been bugging me since 1995. Seals and seal lions are totally different, not even related, but people use the term interchangeably. "They're" means 'they are', "their" is possessive. Once rope is attached to something it is a "line" not rope. These things bother me every day but it's because I am aspie. My brain is all about details. They are more important than people and I feel closer to them. I understand about you and Hertz. Fine with me

my mother read from bottom to top, right to left.
When my brother makes me a cup of coffee and fills it only half way up the mug.
When I buy a supermarket pizza and the topping is all over one side of the pizza and not evenly distributed
The way a lot of girls put a circle over the i intead of a dot, or write in pink.
Cursive handwriting, I often can't read it, it looks like curly telephone wire.
Long lists that go across rather down the page
My sister telling her 2-year-old daughter that the moon is made of cheese.
The way microsoft windows will tell you about some problem in a pop-up window and there's an ok button - they actually ask you if it's ok! No, it's not bl**dy ok!! Or anyone telling you there's a problem and asking if it's ok, to which I say "no, it isn't!" It make no sense.
Common spelling mistakes such as 'whould' (I'm a grammar nazi).

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
It's a unit of frequency, appropriate and proper for both applications.

Use of pi instead of tau for the circle constant, where pi = 1/2 * tau (i.e., tau = 2*pi). Using tau provides a consistency of mathematical form and simplifies mathematical concepts, such as much of trigonometry. (One time
around the unit circle is 1*tau radians. Halfway around the unit circle is 1/2 * tau radians.) Using tau seems to provide a cleaner form in most cases, in the same way it is cleaner to write 1 instead of 2 * 1/2.
It bothers me when people treat data as a singular noun. Data is the plural of datum. The data are consistent with the hypothesis is correct. The data is consistent with the hypothesis is incorrect.
I hate seeing people use begs the question when they mean raises the question. They don't mean the same thing. Begging the question means applying circular logic.
It's annoying to see e.g. or i.e. used incorrectly. E.g. means for example. I.e. means in other words.

I have had a tablet since 2004. It has no view screen, no battery, and connects into the computer because it is an art tool, not a damn computer. Everybody else has a pad computer, they do NOT have a tablet. I could have strangled the idiot at Staples who took me to the phone section when I asked what kind of tablets they had.

I was wondering if I'd have a problem getting to sleep tonight. Doesn't look like it. I'll be sure to check this out.
That's an NT for ya!

Hey now! That's riveting stuff! :-DI was wondering if I'd have a problem getting to sleep tonight. Doesn't look like it. I'll be sure to check this out.
The fact that when a book is made into a series or film and are not true to the book. It drives me crazy when the program or film is 4 hrs long and the scenes are nothing like I read.
Yes, I get upset when words are spelt wrong, but I try to be reasonable, for my spelling is not perfect.
When I am used to something and some one else comes along and disrupts things.
Injustice and more so, when people are blasé over it.
I have many different coloured kitchen cloths and hate misuse of them.
I also have a small dust pan and brush that I use to sweep tables etc and get upset when used for other things.
Hate with a passion, notifications and clutter on my electronics and useless apps that I am not allowed to un install. My husband's tablet drives me up the wall with irritation with how cluttered his machine is.
I seriously cannot deal with mess; I need organisation around me to breath and function

It bothers me when people accidentally give me the wrong information, and when they realize it they say "opps, I lied." They didn't lie! They just said the wrong thing!
