Love me some lamas!
One nuance that I try to keep up with is avoiding using ratio language with rates. A rate has a compound unit, so a single quantity therefore I try to avoid using the number 1 and rather say “pounds per lama”
This really drives home the idea that a rate is the result of partitive division and a single quantity.
