सामान्य चूक:
Learners often confuse the spelling "kilometre" (British) with "kilometer" (American). Both are correct in their own varieties of English. Another common problem is mixing up kilometres with miles; remember that 1 kilometre is shorter than 1 mile. Learners also sometimes write the abbreviation incorrectly; the standard form is "km", not "kms".
समानार्थी शब्द
km (Written abbreviation, used especially in technical writing, maps, and signs, not usually spoken as "kilometres" in full sentences.) | kilometer (US English and other regional spelling; same meaning as "kilometre" but different standard spelling.)
