Unless you're in the UK, in which case it is still often shown as 6080 feet.
Or running plotting board solutions, etc., in which case 6000 feet (2000
yds) is nominally taken as the nautical mile for the purpose of computing
speed and/or time. But I believe the international standard is a hair over
6076 feet.
It's all over the "map" so to speak :-)
