  Thank you. I was looking at it thinking, “but 100m is only 10% of the other distance”.

  BTW for any curious non-muricans, miles is abbreviated “mi” so it doesn’t get confused with meters. The only slight exception is when you are dealing with transportation, where none of the units are abbreviated properly:

  • miles per hour = “mph” (should be mi/hr)
  • miles per gallon = “mpg” (should be mi/gal)

    To be fair, km/h is kph in this context.

      I think most people would understand kph = kilometers per hour. Don’t tell the International Bureau of Weights and Measures, though. They might get mad you for saying that.
