kilo is a common prefix meaning *1000
milli is /1000
and you can use them for several units
it's not like we use "irish" to mean *1.27
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Irish Coffee exactly 1.27 coffees?
When I make an Irish coffee, that's definetly not what makes it Irish. Though by coincidence it does end up 1.27 times the size of a regular one, on account of the additives.
No, "irish coffee" is coffee with alcohol in it. At least where I am from.
Well, yeah. In Ireland it's just coffee.
Would "irish beer" be beer with a small serving of coffee on top?
it may be
but the usability is about being common
if everyone (or almost everyone) used it, it would be useful
tho, I still like metric better because it matches our base
but if ppl around you use irish to mean *1.27, go for it
Irish always means at least 27% better.
Especially for currency conversion.
