In an 'answers to correspondents' column in the UK Daily Mail, one reader questioned the meaning of the word 'klicks' as used in vietnam war movies. The reader who wrote in with an answer correctly identified this as an abbreviation for kilometres (supposedly based on the clicking sound of a measuring device), but also said that this was despite the US still officially using miles and yards. If anyone wants to respond with a better answer the e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED]
