      “kph” is an americanization. the unit is km/h. i’m assuming the commenter did not know this since the first abbreviation is not used it most languages.

        Fair enough. I Googled it just to double-check before posting, but Google isn’t going to tell you whether terminology is regionally correct or not.

      Maybe this is an SI purist and want to see meters per second or nothing? That would be silly because KPH is well used across the metric world, of course

        yeah, but the US is one of the only country in the world that writes it as kph. most countries write it as km/h. Which can be confusing.
