Is that cubits / Pirate-Ninja?
Did you know there is a unit called the sheppey - about 7⁄8 of a mile (1.4 km), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque?

Oh please !!! DO IT!

Surely that's a constant?

One would hope.

This one is right up there with PARSECS_FOR_KESSEL_RUN.

Awesome nonsense.
He might just as well have blurped something like making the run in less than 38 lightyears.

Come to think of it, are there any milliseconds in a Leap Second?
|

It depends if you measure them or not.

I can't be bothered with such fiddling small change.

Of course not. The logical name is: MILLISEC_PER_SEC_1000_SIC

I once had a customer tell me, "I want this process time to be ten seconds. Ten German seconds. Not American seconds." We all laughed.

How fast is your product traveling? You might need a variable for it.

Check again - in France it may have an alternative value.*
*After all, they don't have a word for 'seventy', 'eighty', or 'ninety'

C'mon - quatre vingt dix rolls off the tongue!

It brought to mind french cuisine, crawling off one's tongue (leaving a slime trail).
I hadn't expected this type of treatment from you!

It's easier in Switzerland, they use septante, octante, nonante instead of soixante-dix, quatre-vingts, quatre-vingt-dix.
In Belgium they use some bastardised version with septante, quatre-vingt, nonante IIRC.

Or, perhaps it's needed to differentiate in regions where they use an Imperial Second instead of a regular one.
