Tips

usage
Two flavors: literal (math/physics dimension — 三维 sānwéi, 3D) and figurative (perspective — 维度 cóng…wéidù, from the X dimension/angle). The figurative use has exploded in tech and consultancy writing.
mistakes
Don't confuse with 纬度 (wěidù), latitude. (wéi) = to tie / dimension; (wěi) = woof / horizontal — keep the versus + difference straight.
