LOL

What system of unit vectors did you have?

*I* didn't have ANY.

So you create your own problems?
You always have unit vectors, BB. Else what is the Lint telling
you about?

Nope. Unit vectors point in a spatial direction.

Sort of like simple 3D Cartesian unit vectors?

A unit vector is any vector with a length of one, geometrically, it
only indicates a direction but no magnitude.

Any clues what the magnitude of "1" is?
Don't buy pigs in pokes. Think for yourself now & then. Take a basic
math or science class, etc.
