grad f would be the vector f_{x} [i] + f_{y} [j] + f_z [k]
and dr is the vector dx[i] = dy[j] + dz[k]
so that the above 0-form "f_{x}dx+f_{y}dy+f_{z}dz" is clearly grad f (dot) dr
or are you now defining dx, dy and dz to be the unit vectors [i] [j] and [k] ???
This would indeed be a cruel usurpation and corruption of well established
notation.
