Less than 100 nanometers? It always gets me when someone abbreviates nautical miles in lowercase even though context is (almost) always clear it can't be nanom

Less than 100 nanometers?
It always gets me when someone abbreviates nautical miles in lowercase even though context is (almost) always clear it can't be nanometers.
- sokoloff 2y agoAn AWACS aircraft within 100 nanometers of you would indeed represent a direct and immediate threat. :) TIL that nm isn’t actually accepted as an abbreviation for nautical miles. (It’s used so commonly in aviation that I assumed it was correct and it took me 3 or 4 searches to accept that this thing I knew was correct actually wasn’t. Thanks [seriously]!)
