I thought 100kts = 115mph.
That's what I thought, and maybe what he meant

good grief... call it ft/sec, nanometers/millisecond or whatever you want and it will have ZERO relevance on how the airplane flies or how well it can be flown. As long as the plane has a nifty pink card from the FAA it will always have an equal place in aviation despite the assertion otherwise. OUT

All the more reason to find one unit of measure and stay with it. Standardize everything.
Bill,
I do not believe that anyone would endorse what you hypothesize in your posting. From my perspective, I would just like everyone to be on the same page for position and WX reports. The standard measurement is nautical for WX, ATC, etc., so it is just matter of safety and clarity.
Quite frankly, I don't believe that anyone cares what you use for your personal pleasure. If the bigger numbers give you a warm fuzzy...have at it. But I for one (and ATC too, I am sure) would appreciate it if everyone used the standard nautical scale for all reporting.

Use Knots,,,,,,,,, and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, don't,,, fly a B52 trafic pattern
Ditto , Ditto, Ditto, Use Knots
How about a new set a threads:
How should we measure Gross Weight, Kg or Lbs? fuel, L or gal? Altitude, M or FT? Temp, C or F?

This is all a non debate,
The only debate is whether to conform to Standards or not.
Three nations have not officially adopted the International System of Units as their primary or sole system of measurement: Burma, Liberia, and the United States.

We don't have to, and you can't make us!
Cheers
How about furlongs per fortnight.

Sorry, Pete, but icao sets standards worldwide in aviation. And they say knots.

Anyway, that would put m/s, not km/h on the face of you airspeed indicator and I really doubt that would ever catch on, even in France.
Does not matter what units since the speed is the same.
I usually use 165 kts for cross county planning but I could use
84.88 m/s
305.580 km/h
278.49 ft/sec
1,002,559 f/h
189.9 mph
0.247 Mach
I still get there in the same amount of time.
Quote what you want just make sure you always use the units.
