minus-squareHackworth@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·6 days agoThank you. I’ve only ever seen “mi.” for miles.
minus-squarebutwhyishischinabook@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·6 days agoWait that’s the joke??? I’ve never seen “m” used for miles lol.
minus-squareblueeggsandyam@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 days agoIf that isn’t it I don’t know what the joke is. Maybe Americans are so stupid that they accidentally make the right choice?
