Hello all,
I faxed a suggestion to the CIA World Fact Book {they don't have an email address for
some strange reason..... >;) } asking them to change the unit "nm" use for nautical
miles to something more appropriate since "nm" means "nanometres".
Today I received a call from a Mr. Bob Frasier (he told me his family was originally
from Nova Scotia and he's related to the all the Frasiers 'down-east'). He manages the
World Fact Book and was willing to change "nm" to "NM" since the Navy and Defence
Department also use this capitalized abbreviation. Good enough for me. He also invited
any other comments that I may have on the site.
He told me that they receive 460'000 hits per month to their site, mostly from
American school children. Since this site is primarily metric I was pleased to hear
this statistic.
