Good catch, but following that it should actually be displacementraptor / time. Speed is based on distance traveled, velocity is where you started vs where you ended up. If you run complete laps around a track your velocity will be 0 when you're done because your displacement is 0 (start and end points are the same)

    And it should be displaceraptor, dropping the last syllable, otherwise the quotient would be velocityraptor.
