Nope. Not even at high school. The magnitude is "speed".
Maybe where you live. Not where I live.

BS. This is stated in any basic physics text book -even Wiki knows it:


"In physics...The scalar absolute value (magnitude) of velocity is
speed."


What part of "everyday's language" wasn't clear?


I can see you have trouble with English too.
