With number/letter combinations separated by a hyphen, I'm wondering why DBT
sometimes adds the letter sign and sometimes not. Example:
10-cm (letter sign added.
10-degree (no letter sign.
Potentially, according to EBAE, 10-degree could initially be confused with the
"deg" first being read as numbers. But then there is a combo like 4-kg that
isn't confusing, and DBT still adds the letter sign there.
What is the DBT logic for when it adds and doesn't add letter signs with
numbers, hyphen, letters/words?

Appealingness is inversely proportional to attainability.
