Having trouble fathoming fathoms? At least we don't have to deal with cables. Is that a length, a wire, or a message?
If you really want to open a can of worms, ask anyone outside the US what a 'meter' is. They'll tell you it's a device to measure something, like a gas meter. A 'metre' is the unit of length.
