I most definitely grew up with km/h, not kph. "k" is not an acceptable way to abbreviate kilometer in a world where kilograms are used.
Curious what you're doing that "kilograms per hour" might get used by normal people in everyday conversation. Fast food restaurant or a weight loss clinic?
The whole point of SI units is to not live in a world of uncertainty, ad hoc terminology, and name collisions.
Yeah, the people insisting on writing those are on the wrong.
Agreed but we do have to interact with them. I once tried to sell a car with 140 Mm and got nowhere. I then changed the add to 140_000 km and got a lot more interest.
My interdental brushes claim that the wire is 0.8 megamolar wide, which is not a normal measure of width.
