Nobody divides miles by feet.

Yeah. Because it’s a shitty system.

It will be the same for kilometers.

Except it’s not.

People will either say „half a kilometre“ or „500 meters“, because that’s something you can actually easily calculate …

And your GPS will tell you „turn left in 100/200/etc m“, or and not „in a quarter of a mile“…
