      You… shouldn’t? Unless you travel here as a tourist, as many do. This is converting FROM miles. I don’t understand why anyone would pick this place to shit on people who use miles. This comment offers a way out of using miles.

        Just wanted to give a meme-y answer since we are in a meme side of the lemmy. I even thanked the person even though I think I will never travel outside my country given my circumstances.

          Yes, nautical miles still have some logic behind, as they are based on degrees of latitude.

          Still it’s funny to me that they are still called miles.

        I appreciate this practical answer even though I just learned that only pilots uses this particular American measure system Americans call mile.
