I always distinguish between a quantity and the measurement of this 
quantity.

E.g.

'length' is a (physical) quantity and is measured in meters.

The meter is therefore not a quantity, but a measure (acutally a 'unit 
of measurement').

The term 'dimension' enters into the picture through mathematics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension_(physics)

"In engineering and science, dimensional analysis is the analysis of the 
relationships between different physical quantities by identifying their 
base quantities (such as length, mass, time, and electric current) and 
units of measurement (such as metres and grams) and tracking these 
dimensions as calculations or comparisons are performed. "

It is here not advised to confuse the different uses of the term 
'dimension'. E.g. Euclidean space has three dimensions and spacetime 
four. But these dimensions are not the same.
