    Still: the difference between a kilometer and a centimeter is much bigger than the difference between a nautical mile and an Irish mile. And not even all meters are standardized. Thermometers and barometers vary hugely in size

      Ah, you must live in the US. Because in the rest of the English speaking world, a metre is a unit of length, and a meter is a measuring device. Note the difference in spelling. ;)

      Not that it makes a tonne of difference.
