Will they though? I don't talk about distances that large anywhere near often enough to really need a shorthand for it, personally. Had to even look up what things are approximately 1000km apart to even know what to imagine it as (it's about the distance between Paris and Berlin).
Yes, every time I’ve ever heard someone use metric to describe distances of >999km, they keep using kilometers.
Sweden is quite long, so talking about traveling>1 000 km is not uncommon, but here we have mil, which is equal to 10 km. So on my vacation I traveled 120 mil is more useful and common
Oh no, over here a mil is 1/1000 of an inch, haha
Comes up a literal metric ass load (8 bushels) when your talking about travel in the USA.
We big
Car mileage (or kilometerage, is that a word?)
People don't say the car has 200 megameter on the odometer, but 200 000 km. Or 200k km?...
In Sweden we say 20 000 mil. I always have to stop for a second to convert when people use km.
You should consider adopting metric and avoid these conversion steps.
