There are lots of different "miles", for instance there are theoretically an infinite number of different lengths of Nautical Mile .... But only one definition of a Metre, and therefore a Kilometre. The statute mile may be weird and inconvenient, but it's no more imprecise than the kilometer. -- Mike Ash Radio Free Earth Broadcasting from our climate-controlled studios deep inside the Moon |
