I'm confused. Dunno if it's sarcasm or not. DaveP told me it was kilometre like in French even though it's pronounced different in English. I always take Davep's word for cash so it's kilometre and I'm still confused by this comment and the one answering LRB's own bewilderment.
I think we call it a kilometer in American English, but since we don't use the term at all (we call them 5K, etc.), disregard. LOL

As part of the 2024 London Marathon, I am fundraising for VICTA, a charity that helps blind and visually impaired children. My mentor while in law school, Jim K (a blind attorney), has been a huge inspiration and an example of courage and perseverance. Please consider donating.
