Thanks for the interesting info! I figured it was used somewhere, just hadn't seen it.

And reminded me of the unit I saw once that I hate the most. Kilofeet... Not kidding. Apparently used in telecommunications as a unit of length for spools of cable, probably for similar reasons of easier math but couldn't fully switch from the US standard.

Lmao that too. We use kilopounds as well because tons are too easily confused with metric tons
