      😄 For the rest of the world it still makes more sense to avoid the depressing leading zero and to measure their bridges in meters.

        You’re confusing that with a kilo meter. A meter that measures kilos. Not to be confused with a metre meter, aka a 1m stick.

        Fun fact, while a watermeter is a meter for measuring water, a watermetre is just a regular metre. Unlike the mile and nautical mile, which are disimlar by four syllables and some metres.
