Yes, I am top-posting. By choice. My response is to the whole thread, most of which I deleted as they came in.
How about we get Allison to say: Knots Per Hour Second Minute Day These would make it more general for anything that involves a rate. In fact, some of these may be recorded already, but suffice it to say that some people use a knot as a distance, and others use it as a rate. And that's OK. Those who are in the distance camp may piece together knots, per, and hour to make their unit of choice, and those who like knots as a rate can just ignore the others, until they read other statistics, like 400 packets per second, or 5 calls per minute, or whatever.
