    my friend lives 30m from a multi-million population city

    It took me a beat to realize this was 30 miles or 30 minutes and not 30 meters.

      Ah that’s my bad, should’ve used metric. I meant minutes, but in context it doesn’t really portray that.

        Oh, metric isn’t a requirement (although I myself am striving to use it when I remember), just that “m” alone is ambiguous. And in my daily work, a number followed by a single m is meters.
