While I can agree 'meters per second' does not help, many other aspects of
the metric system would make life so much simpler.
Mike said The only thing going for that unit is that is close to 2 knots
and a knot is close to 100 feet per minute which makes it easy to figure if
you need 2800

Also a young kid learning gliding taught me the conversion from kts to kph
you multiply by 1.852
