I do dislike signage, as in "Just follow the signage". It doesn't seem to be anything different from just signs.

This came up at work today. The number of miles a car has travelled is its mileage (or possibly milage), but here I am in Indonesia so what do I call it: kilometreage? I can't say, "If the mileage for the month exceeds 5000 km", can I. I could talk round it with "the number of kilometres driven" or something like that I know (that's what I did in the end) but are we going to lose a very useful little word. What do people in the metricised parts of the English-speaking world do?
