    I put it to you that a variable, constant or define named "MILLISEC_PER_SEC" is never, ever, ever needed.

      How fast is your product traveling? You might need a variable for it.

        I once had a customer tell me, "I want this process time to be ten seconds. Ten German seconds. Not American seconds." We all laughed.

          That's what I would think, as the SI-system is fairly logical. Then you meet someone from the UK and they tell you there's x feet in an inch. It's also a nice shortcut, to change the display from msec to sec, just by setting this constant to "0" instead of "1000" :p

          Yes, but that's quite a difficult value. Imperial still has some very logical measurements, such as Rod (unit) - Wikipedia[^]

                Depending on the usage you might then get a "Division by zero" exception / fatal error popup window instead.

                      Is that cubits / Pirate-Ninja? Did you know there is a unit called the sheppey - about ​7⁄8 of a mile (1.4 km), defined as the closest distance at which sheep remain picturesque?

                                Or, perhaps it's needed to differentiate in regions where they use an Imperial Second instead of a regular one.
