[Asterisk-Users] More words for Allison

[Scott Stingel]

Webster's Dictionary lists both usages:

knot = "one nautical mile per hour" and "one nautical mile", and mentions
the second one as "not used technically".

As I pilot myself, I'm pretty sure that "knot" (or "knots") is the commonly
used form (by itself).

Best regards!

Then stick to being a land lubber.  Because you're wrong.

A knot is a unit of linear measurement.
