Deliberately bad software or bad design is not software gore, it must be something unintentional

There's several different types of miles: nautical, statute, scandinavian, irish, etc. Which makes using the imperial system all the more stupid.
True but there are also many different types of meters: kilometers, centimeters, millimeters, thermometers, barometers, ... face it: the metric system isn't better
kilo is a common prefix meaning *1000
milli is /1000
and you can use them for several units
it's not like we use "irish" to mean *1.27
Irish always means at least 27% better.
Especially for currency conversion.
