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.
