    kph? Even if you don’t work with SI units, just don’t invent wrong ones. If lost, ask someone who knows. The correct abbreviation for “kilometers per hour” is km/h

      While km/h is the official SI symbol, kph isn’t just “made up”. It’s a quite widely used unofficial abbreviation.

        I don’t think my teachers would have been impressed with me in school if I claimed to be using the ‘unofficial spelling of words’ or citing ‘unofficial facts’. You either have one standard… Or none at all.
