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)

Also a good catch.

Speediraptor just sounds silly. Not nearly as scary as velociraptor.

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

I was gonna share this meme, but now it just seems silly with all of these factual errors.

The cumulative pedantry is almost all the fun.
