Although I do get the argument that tons is confusing because there are metric tons as well, and with only a 10% difference, it won’t be as obvious as if you confuse pounds and kilos or feet and meters
But milimiles would be redundant, it already gets its name from being roughly equivalent to a thousand of someone, somewhere’s (probably in Europe or the Mediterranean, but beyond that, who knows) paces.
Are you trying to break Europe by using “k” and “miles” together?
240 kilomiles (km)
So many baguettes just hit the ground
Sacre bleu!
It just dawned on me Americans use k as a shorthand for 1000… like the metric system 🤣
And if you’d use yard, then it’s only 9% off. One kiloyard is 0.91 kilometer.
In the US, k could stand for 1042 or something, who can tell?
(it’s the number of thumbs that fit in a half barrel btw)
1153 and 36/127ths. Simple.
Why do you keep being your mother a “half barrel”?
Do you live in the US? I’ve seen you simping for Trump before but you’re not familiar with how we write car mileage?
Sus af
Probably a Russian bot
k is just a prefix, it is unit-independent
K
Ok use kilopounds then. Or milimiles!
kilopounds (Kips) is a real unit that gets used in structural design in the US. It makes no sense lol.
We already have short tons!

A millimile would be five feet, three and a third inches.
Oh so a mile is just a kilopace you’re saying
If it’s a prefix, why do we write it after the number? 🤔
I saw that 2 kiloinches away.
K means 1,000 as in kilo because T already means 1,000,000,000,000 (trillion) OR 2000 pounds (Ton)
K is short for 1000.
Merci! It’s actually “short” for “kilo”. But you’re doing great!
Winning hearts and minds being a smug prick.
You will break people by using a proper Mm there. The GGP is harmless.
Cool abbreviations bro
