I think the m is supposed to stand for miles. I guess the sign is in a desert between usa and canada

Wait that's the joke??? I've never seen "m" used for miles lol.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

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?

[–] Hackworth@piefed.ca 11 points 3 days ago

Thank you. I've only ever seen "mi." for miles.

'm' is definitely meters, 'mi' is for miles
