They 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".
