Feet and inches

Remove commas

edit
Description
Remove commas from quantities of feet or inches. If they're in x'y" format, I'm not worrying about trying to figure out if they represent minutes or seconds of arc because then there couldn't possibly be more than sixty, and so there won't be any commas.

Replace nautical miles with {{convert}}

edit

This task requires three rules. The first strips commas and spaces from large numbers of nautical miles. The second converts standard uses of nautical miles. The third converts adjectival uses of nautical miles. They should not be set up as sub-rules, because then they would only run when we've stripped commas or spaces; we may be dealing with small numbers, so there were no commas to strip, or the article may have simply been written without commas. I don't abbreviate nautical miles, because the symbol to use is disputed, and I feel better writing the unit out than I do using a symbol I don't agree with.

I had originally written just one rule, but I couldn't figure out how to support a number of any length; I had to include separate captures of each group of digits. I set it up to capture the equivalent of a fifth of a light-year, but then I decided that there has to be a way to deal with any number of commas. This is what I came up with.

Remove commas

edit
Description
Remove commas from quantities of abbreviated nautical miles. This recognizes "nm" as an abbreviation for nautical miles. Yes, that is the official SI symbol for nanometers. I work primarily on articles about ships, mostly from World War II and before, so I don't run into nanometers very much. I often run into "nm" as an abbreviation for nautical miles. If you see a lot of nanometers, modify this regex, be careful with it, or just don't use it.
