Poll question: How do you pronounce this metric measurement? |
|
Kilometer - about 0.6 of a statute mile.

2. Har! I was glad to see "click" as a choice |

3. Neither. It's a "Click." |

As in: "Eltee, take your troops two clicks down that trail and probe for enemy fire."

Kil'-o--mee-ter (s), click (s), and kay (s). And last week for my new job I did walk a grand total of 50 clicks in two days. LOL

I had forgotten about that - I guess now I've got another word to force myself to use (as opposed to kilometer)
