PINEPHONE SPECS: Isn't 18:9 == 2:1? and as it is a RATIO, isn't simplified better?
#1
First THANKS for this amazing project that is Pinephone
I am not brave or rich enough to be brave.
But I will buy one.

I love the bet for the 2:1 screen ratio
I would even love more the same bet all over the product line
Also an additional 3:1 screen offer for those that prefer landscape view.
But I do not like reading 18:9 and not 2:1 as if it were a 16+:9 option.

Please, change 18:9 in the specs for 2:1 or at least add (2:1) after that nonsense 
- in my opinion - of using multipliers for ratios.
#2
Daft as it seems, that's become the industry standard way to specify it, and this is far from the first phone to use it. It's like 16:10 monitors, presumably so people can more easily compare with 16:9, or perhaps because bigger numbers are 'better' in specs. Whatever the reason, if you're aiming to have the specs comparable to other phones it needs to stay 18:9.
