As long as you’ve taken science/math in school, you should be able to piece it together. No one uses imperial units for computation really, especially in academia. Also if you say 17 KMPH, most will read it as 17 kilometers per hour…even those steeped in the metric system. Please attack the American education system in general and “no child left behind” instead of our choice of distance/speed units on road signs.
imagine kilomile per hour, would americans understand? it’d just be 1 space moved in the current title
What?
You haven’t heard of the kilomile? How about the centiinch or maybe the miligallon
I’m going to start using miligallons for drinks measures.
The title has 17 kilo miles per hour, that’s what that K means. Kilo = 1000
what what
In the butt
isn’t 17 kmph kinda slow, though?
I was about to say “woosh” but then it hit me
at 17 kmph?! that’s hardly a woosh.
Also the reason I survived to tell the story
I lived in North America for ~10 years, the whole time I still converted miles / pounds / fahrenheit into real units in my head.
To this day, feet/yards etc. sounds like made up measures to me.
All measures are made up

I appreciated your joke a metric imperial shit tonne
