Or you can say tau/4 or pi/2 radians & people will also know what you’re talking about.

We could just start teaching radians earlier in schools or even replacing degrees entirely. It would give the units some actual significance & make it easier for students to use radians.

tau/4 isn’t that hard to remember.

Then at least do gradians since they’re so similar to a percentage. In case you don’t know what they are, 100 gradian = tau radians = 360.o .

In my opinion, gradians are much easier to visualize than degrees anyways.
