Off-topic: why to write kph when the most logical way would be to write kmh, km/h or kmph? kph translates to 'kilo per hour". km/h would be the mathematically correct.

Because kph is the most recognisable term to most people without having to stop and think about it for a couple seconds

Ok. This has to be something that's different in America and Europe then. At least here, in Finland, we always write km/h.

Because I was one who needed to pause for a second until I got what kph meant.

To think of it - I think the only occasion where we use p in place of / is rpm.
