用法筆記

This abbreviation is used mainly in writing after a number (e.g. 5 km). In spoken English, people usually say 'kilometres' in full. Do not add a space between the number and 'km' in formal contexts, though a thin space is acceptable. Note that the metric spelling is kilometre (British) or kilometer (American); the abbreviation km is the same in both varieties.

常見錯誤

I walked 5 kms yesterday.
I walked 5 km yesterday.
km is already plural (kilometres); never add an -s to the abbreviation.
The sign says 5 km.' (when in Taiwan, where the metric system is used)
The sign says 5公里.
In Chinese contexts, use 公里 rather than km in natural written Chinese, though km is understood.
