English term or phrase: \"Net Unit Price\" vs \"Unit Net Price\"
"Net Unit Price" vs "Unit Net Price" - what's the difference? Or do they mean the same thing...
In my case, I'm translating from the Spanish "Precio neto unitario ", and normally in these cases I apply the rule of thumb that Spanish and English syntaxes usually work in reverse, so when in doubt I would usually translate it as "Unit Net Price". However, a Google search both versions turns up around 7000 hits for 'Unit Net Price' and more than 30,00 for 'Net Unit Price', although this type of volume outcome is often due to the prevalence of US English worldwide.
