what is the differece between a mile and a country mile?
92553
A mile is a unit of measure which can be empirically verified.  A country mile is a figure of speech which means "a long, unprecise distance".  For example, "I beat him by a country mile" means that the speaker was an imprecise, but long distance ahead.  However, I am pretty sure that it is neither longer nor shorter than a "far piece" pronounced "fur piece" where I hail from.\n\nI'm sure there is some history to this expression and someone will enlighten us with a link.

History:\n\nThroughout history many units of length named mile have been used, with widely differing definitions, originating with the Roman mile of approximately 1479 metres. A Roman mile consisted of 1000 "double steps", or two strides by a Roman soldier, each such double stride being called a passus having a length of approximately 2.4 feet. The word mile itself has been derived from the words mille passus (plural milia passuum), a thousand paces. Along the roads built by the Romans throughout Europe, it was common to erect a stone every mile to announce the distance to Rome, the so-called milestones. The noun milliarium (plural milliaria), designating a milestone, was also used as a figurative alternative for mile. In navigation, the geographical mile was commonly used, defined as 1 minute of arc along the Earth's equator, approximately equal to 1855 metres. The name statute mile goes back to Queen Elizabeth I of England who redefined the mile from 5000 feet to 8 furlongs (5280 feet) by statute in 1593. When the international mile became legal in mid-1959, the survey mile was retained for measurements derived from U.S. cadastral surveys. In Denmark and most of Germany the mile in the 19th century was an approximately 7.5 km geographical mile (determined by 4 minutes of arc) specified by Ole Rømer. In parts of Germany there also existed an exact 7.5 km metric mile variant, but it mostly went out of use at the beginning of the 20th century. The Ole Rømer mile was for a long time used as a sea mile in Scandinavia, but was in the middle of the 20th century replaced by the international nautical mile. The international nautical mile is still often referred to by traditionalist Scandinavians as a quarter mile. \n\nDefinitions:\n\nThe meanings of mile that are commonly used today are: \nThe international mile is the one typically meant when the word mile is used without qualification. It is defined to be precisely m or 5280 international feet. It is used in the United States and the United Kingdom as part of the Imperial system of units. The international mile is equivalent to 8 furlongs, or 80 chains, or 1760 international yards. \nThe U.S. survey mile or statute mile is precisely equal to 6336/3937 kilometres or 5280 U.S. survey feet, approximately 1609.347 metres. One international mile is precisely equal to 0.999 998 survey miles. The survey mile is used by the United States Public Land Survey System. \nThe international nautical mile is defined to be exactly 1852 metres. It is used universally for aviation, naval and maritime purposes and originated from the geographical mile. \nIn Norway and Sweden, a distance of 10 kilometres is most commonly referred to as a mile.\n\nInformation:\n\nA mile is any of several unit s of distance , or, as physicists say, of length . Today, one mile is mainly equal to about 1609 metre s on land and 1852 metres at sea and in the air, but see below for the details.

I can't think of any time when either is correct. But, if you add a hyphen, then "a three-mile" works as an adjective. I don't think there is any way that "a three miles" would be correct, though "three miles" can be correct, depending on context. Examples of correct usage:\nA three-mile trip\nA three-mile road\nHe walked three miles

1 mile = 1.6093 km\nSo 1 km = 1/1.6093 mile\nSo 3 km = 3/1.6093 mile = 1.864165 mile

A nautical mile, whether on land or at sea, is set equal to a minute of latitude (there are 60 minutes in a degree). It is used at sea because it makes it easier to measure changes in latitude. It is roughly equal to 1.152 miles.

England for a start. We use feet, inches, pounds, miles and stone, we're rather resistant to the metric system. America uses some of it I believe with things liek miles and lbs but i think slowly they're turning to metric more and more. The rest of Europe is very strictly metric, leading the way is France

Miles?  I think it is more like inches.

1 mile = 1.60934 km\n\n... which is the same thing as saying\n1 km = 0.621371 miles\n\nHence (27 km) x (0.621371 mile/km) = 16.7770 miles\nand (6.4km) x (0.621371 mile/km) = 3.9768 miles
