Dictionaries are not normative, particularly not modern ones: they just report on observed usage. I was referring to standard-setting documents such as those put out by ISO, IEEE, ANSI, and so on. They can't afford to introduce ambiguities between distance and speed ---otherwise you end up with disasters like the Mars Polar Lander affair.
I'm not disputing that the usage is current in English: I'm just pointing out the same is not true of other languages, and that confusing distance and speed seems very odd when looking at the detailed specs of GPS sensors. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712115 Title: Text of libexif Template “libexif-12” is incorrect -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
