FDM Print speed

The table at the beginning of the article lists typical FDM print speeds as 50-150 mm/h, but speeds are usually measured in mm/s. The linked source article does indeed provide the speeds in mm/h as well, but I'm pretty sure that's a typo. If you look up a few FDM printers, you will see that their speeds are all in the 10s to 100s of mm per second, not per hour. Here is an article that claims typical print speeds are 40-150 mm/s: https://bigrep.com/posts/3d-print-speed-fff/#:~:text=Print%20speed%20is%20measured%20in,s%20to%20150%20mm%2Fs.

I am not editing the article myself because I am not overly familiar with this topic, and it's possible that I'm just wrong; I'm hoping someone with more knowledge on the topic can verify this. It's probably worth checking the units of the other printing types as well (it seems unlikely that DLP/SLA is typically 20-36mm/h but can be as fast as 720 mm/s -- at least 180 times faster than the typical range!).
