    Convert a string to milliseconds.

    ### Arguments
    - string: the string to convert
    - precision: the number of decimals to round to
    - kwargs: the keyword args to convert

    ### Returns
    - the milliseconds

    ### Notes
    - You can either pass a string,
    - or a set of keyword args ("hour", "min", "sec", "ms") to convert.
    - If "precision" is set, the result is rounded to the number of decimals given.
