Your units are confusing me. Meters per year? Surely they're faster than that?

Your units are confusing me. Meters per year? Surely they're faster than that?
- jchw 7y agoGuessing they are talking about construction time? edit: Oops I accidentally misunderstood your questioning. Surely that must be miles per year.
- snazz 7y agoMiles
- Jernik 7y agoThey used miles and years right before that, so I'm not sure how it is confusing that m/yr is miles/year
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoIt's confusing because the way the units are represented is inconsistent.
- CydeWeys 7y agoThat, and also m=meter, mi=mile.
- Dylan16807 7y agoYou find the 'yr' confusing?
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoNo, they interchanged miles with m, and in a weird unintuitive way at that. m isn't even standard for miles, it's standard for meters, and just before that miles was written instead of shortened - it's not just confusing it's also terribly presented. At least yr is intuitive, nothing about m is easily understood even given the context (which is why so many other people are complaining about it).
- Dylan16807 7y agoOkay, though that sounds like you're actually objecting for a different reason than inconsistency. But I will note that "m" is used in the common distance-over-time unit of mph.
- microtherion 7y ago"mile" is typically abbreviated as "mi".
