Wrong again, bozo!

The speed of light is 299,997 kilometers per second or approximately 3 x10 to the eighth (8th) power or 186,282 miles per second.

Not a quibble as far as I'm concerned. I just didn't want someone to innocently quote bozo and make themselves look foolish.

But on second thought, I can see where you point is well taken that no one but perhaps REDWAVE or Donk would quote him anyway.
