| 1319700 | 2012-12-22 04:37:00 | Why do people keep mispronouncing the word 'kilometre' by putting an 'om' in the middle of it. The correct pronunciation is 'kill-o-meeta'. Try to remember this. |

| 1319706 | 2012-12-22 05:14:00 | Maybe they're saying the American version? Time for you to correct wikipedia. There are two common pronunciations for the word: /ˈkɪlɵmiːtər/ KIL-o-mee-tər and /kɨˈlɒmɨtər/ ki-LOM-i-tər |
