Ah, this clears everything up. Using one single term for two things which have the same units and come up in the same contexts is just plane vicious! :-( physicists...

comment How could something have negative mass?
@Anamitra: If you set $i^2 = 1$ but $i \ne 1$, then you have simply given a new name to $-1$... Note that for such a "definition": $(i-1)(i+1) = i^2 - 1 = 0$. So $i=\pm 1$. Also $i$ is usually not defined by $i^4 = 1$ (or rather can not be defined in such a way), but to be a solution to $X^2 + 1 = 0$ (which itself has some degeneracy, but not in an essential way).
