confirmation for this operation can be made in a unit that has the same
dimension as that of the unit you have entered.

You confirm <ZH>hours</>. The dimension is therefore <ZH>time</>. From
now on, you can therefore enter confirmations for this operation in
<ZH>seconds</>, <ZH>minutes</>, <ZH>days</> and so on, but not in
<ZH>meters</>, for example, since this is a unit belonging to the
dimension <ZH>length</>.
