    There was also a great proposal to use kiloseconds.

    We already use 15 minutes (16.67 minutes = 1ksec) a lot in regular speech. My language has a word for it (kvarter) which is used all the time.

    There used to be cool website listing all the benefits but it’s been down for a few years :(

      I’m assuming your language’s word for it comes from “quarter” meaning a forth of the total. In this case the total being an hour.
