I wonder if people in England say go the extra kilometer instead of go the extra mile, amirite?

No, we don't, we say go the extra mile.

we don't measure by kilometers but miles. so we do say, going the extra mile. it's even a moto for an advert.

Well we use kilometers in South Africa and we still say going the extra mile.

I doubt it, because they don't use kilometers... Also "going the extra mile" is a figure of speech, so people would continue saying even if they did use kilometers, because they'd be used to it...

Going the extra kilometer is too long, going the extra mile is just right

That's kind of ironic, since a mile is 1.6 kilometres xD

Am I agreeing/disagreeing on the fact that you wonder if they say so?

And no, even if we did, we'd say 'kilometre because' we are British.

Why do American's always think we use kilometres? Just cos we're in Europe. Haven't they noticed we didn't go with the euro either?

by Anonymous 14 years ago

Since when? What do you use if not the Euro? A shilling? I am honestly suprised, and dissapointed in myself for being so dumb. But... in school we are told that everyone but use uses kilometres. IS IT ALL A LIE??!

The pound (£) ahaha. YES IT IS! We use miles, yet we use centimetres instead of inches. WEIRD HUH?!

by Anonymous 14 years ago

that's so wierd! If you use centimers why not switch to kilometers? Crazy fools. At least we Americans are entirely mixed up with miles and inches, not stuck in the middle! ;)

by Anonymous 14 years ago

I know! I think we should change the centimetres to inches. Aha yeah, not as confusing!
