RE: Unsubscribe, metrically

I think they pronounce it differently in England. We go for Kill-AH-mi-terz
in the US.

What I've never figured out is the "proper" accenting.

Am I supposed to say KILL-o-MEE-ters, or kill-AH-meeters? MY-cro-MEE-ters or
my-CRAH-meters? Or does it depend on where you're from?

History no longer runs in cycles.  Now it runs in Hertz.
