    But, that’s wrong…1 kilomile is 1000 miles not 1000 meters, that would be 1 kilometer…
    so one mile is 1600 meters which makes one kilomile about 1’600’000 meters (rounded) so it would be 1’600’000/4.1 = 390’243 vw beetles

      Where do they use a ’ to denote 1000 grouping??? That’s scary.

      Y es the kilomile thing, that’s why its so much more better! LOL AI thinks 1kilomile is 1000km so we should use AI for everything!

        I was shortly offended, but then I checked the list of locales…and it seems our country is actually the only one with a “Right Single Quotation Mark”, my world view is shattered 🤯
