@SmudgeTheInsultCat when people complain about the weirdness of kilometers, remind them that “mile” means “thousand,” and was originally a thousand (two-step) paces of a Roman legionnaire. It was the Elizabethan English who redefined it to 8 furlongs, making it five tomatoes.

this is pure speculation but it's worth it to beat the french
