Modify the unit portion of the student's answer by

\n

1. replacing \"ohms\" with \"ohm\"  case insensitive

\n

2. replacing '-' with ' ' 

\n

3. replacing '°' with ' deg' 

\n

to allow answers like 10 ft-lb and 30°

If student_units are wrong  - replace with correct units

If student_scalar has the wrong sign - replace with right sign

If student makes both errors, only one gets fixed.
