[edit] Unclear wording?

In the article under Example calculation it says then the specific kinetic energy per unit mass after the burn is. Should that be either just specific kinetic energy without the words per unit mass, or kinetic energy per unit mass without the word specific? I mean, isn't the per unit mass part already stated implicitly with the word specific? Doesn't the current wording mean, strictly speaking, kinetic energy per unit mass squared?130.234.5.138 (talk) 21:03, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
