As Toby Inkster wrote below it is normal to write "500 m". So the guys from

(Almost) every computer software uses pixels. If user want to use another
type of unit- it is recalculated. But the original data is still measured in

MSIE owns the market. So it makes the standard. Everyone should follow them.
Just like Opera does.

If 90% of ppl will drive 120 mph, then the law should be changed to make 120
mph a limit. Law should suit ppl.
