I already know its keel-o-meter, but I sometimes say kill-o-meter.
ROFL.
 
sometimes i accidentally say it like chillometer instead of killometer because that's how it's pronounced in swedish.

yeah same tbh didn't know forever it was a hard "k" sound in english since it's not used so much in speech
 
Kye-oh-meh-tor
I grew up with a speech impediment and lack of communication, so I say a lot of words oddly.
 
I say killohmeter because I forget that it's supposed to be pronounced killawmihter.
