It's a bit off-topic, but kph is not common in my experience. I have a good explanation: this is metric, which is a very convenient system. If you want to express one measure against an other one, just use measure1/measure2. €10/meter, 25kg/liter etc. You can be more verbose and replace "/" with " per ".
Adding constructs like kph sounds like the reintroduction of foot and elbow sizes in the system. Please keep it consistent. /end of rant
- david-given 11y agoIt is consistent. It's consistent with mph, which is what people have been using for decades to measure speeds. Using a / is technically correct, sure, but it's also technical language and where I'm from people are unlikely to use that. They simply wouldn't think to abbreviate the 'per' in 'kilometres per hour' to a slash, any more than they'd think to abbreviate 'miles per hour' to 'm/s'. So, kph.
