@level98 @cpontvieux @mhoye @xek kph would irk me, thousands of what per hour? As does KMPH, case does matter.

(using a capital K at the start of a sentence is an awkward argument about which norm is more important)

@LovesTha @cpontvieux @mhoye @xek "k" for "kilo" as in "thousands" is lower-case.

The "official" notation, as mentioned by Cyrille, is:

km/h or km h⁻¹

If you (or anyone passing) happens to be interested / are not already aware... the organisation who determines such "official" things is the BIPM. A description/documentation of the SI system of units (overseen by the BIPM) can be found on their website.

km/h is not an SI unit... just "accepted" for use with the SI.

@LovesTha @cpontvieux @mhoye @xek Pascals is Pa, but that;s close enough for comic effect! 😆

"Kelvin Mega" could be a death metal band?
