Poll question: How do you pronounce this metric measurement?

2. Har! I was glad to see "click" as a choice
That's what we always said when I was stationed in Europe.

3. Neither. It's a "Click."

As in: "Eltee, take your troops two clicks down that trail and probe for enemy fire." On edit: Oh hell! I missed click as a choice. Nevermind.

Kil'-o--mee-ter (s), click (s), and kay (s). And last week for my new job I did walk a grand total of 50 clicks in two days. LOL

I had forgotten about that - I guess now I've got another word to force myself to use (as opposed to kilometer)
