  Thank you. I’ve only ever seen “mi.” for miles.

    If that isn’t it I don’t know what the joke is. Maybe Americans are so stupid that they accidentally make the right choice?

    What does “mph” mean to you?

    British road signs will mark that a junction is “1m” away meaning “1 mile” (to distinguish it from other contexts where it might say “300 yards")

      Interesting, I didn’t realize that. In the US we use “mi” for miles to clarify that we don’t mean meters lol

  ‘m’ is definitely meters, ‘mi’ is for miles
