ENG mode, n+1?

RE: ENG mode, n+1?
The curious thing is that I'm an engineer (retired) and yet I hardly ever found the need to use engineering mode on my calculators. The reason is that I always used the correct implicit units in my calculations to avoid huge whole numbers in my final results. I would use kips instead of pounds or megawatts instead of watts. If I did have to enter a large number, then I'd simply use scientific notation with whole numbers only. This way I'd avoid having to chase the decimal point around the display the way you do with standard notation.
