Everybody needs to write whatever fool at the National Bureau of Standards decided to change torque to lb-ft, and inform that torque should be changed back to ft-lbs, and lb-ft is wrong. Torque is a vector cross product, and r cross f, does not equal f cross r. Their change makes it harder to teach dimensional analysis. BTW, work is lbs-ft, which is scalar and the order of multiplication does not matter.
