I am quite disappointed that a sidetrack that I carefully labelled as
Yet Another Germanic Grammar Thread was instantly hijacked by car
nerds. I'd much rather learn more about verbal nouns.
That said, in Denmark it used to be kilometers per litre until some
sort of EU normalization directive was implemented. And I'm sure most
Danes above a certain age still have to convert to km/l mentally to
make sense of the new numbers.
