Re: Calc; Cannot add time units to date

[Allen Li]

That's because hour is not a time unit.  hr is a time unit:

1.5 hr + 0.5 hr = 2. hr
1.5 hr + 30 min = 2. hr

(You need to press u s to simplify the units for the second example,
but this does nothing for the date arithmetic that is the subject of
this bug report.)
