Same. Miles per second? What the hell kinda unit is that? Over here, we use Texases per lamb's tail shakes.

I don't want to criticize internet absurdity for many reasons, including but not limited to the fact that I depend on it to survive. Having said that, what's the application of a length to area ratio?

I am referencing the Mississippi, a time unit. One Mississippi is equal to roughly one second.

Wow, that's a lot better than my comment. Sorry I whiffed it.
