At risk of beating a dead horse, I think it doesn't matter. In big boats we express our rate of speed in knots, not knots per hour. But with kayaks, speed varies so much throughout the journey and I think as a result the per hour gets added as emphasis. Playing with words. Depending upon region ship parts have entirely different names etc.., so there's lots of diversity in the nautical world.
