I'm still learning to speak Canadian, so I asked for an explanation from the

first person I heard use the term. According to a 39 year old female,

"klick" always means km. I asked if anyone used the term to refer to km/h

and got a funny look and was advised that one might say that, but it

wouldn't be right. Edie ecarlson[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]lon.hookup.net

"Klick" is commonly used here in south-west Ontario by people of all

ages.

I even hear it on local news reports.

= "km" or "km/h"?
