I’ve learned about them in school, but I’ve never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I’m an American.

    Sweden is also the only country in the world to have a sensible use of the word ‘miles’ (or ‘mil’ in Swedish):

    10km = 1 mil

    They use this a lot when speaking of travel distances longer than 20km.
