Speed reference was incorrect

| January 27, 2015 6:00 AM

Regarding Ammi Midstokke’s Jan. 7 column — she referred to her daughter’s moving “at approximately .00000038 knots per hour.” The speed reference is incorrect. By definition, a knot is one nautical mile per hour. Therefore, “per hour” should not be added after “knots,” as it is redundant.
