One person said the UK is using imperial measurements and you responded that this is wrong and showed in an example at the same time, why the original statement would be true
Alternatively, as a smaller scale, 158 cm and 188 cm are only 0.01727909011373578 and 0.020559930008748905 football fields, respectively. Hope this helps.
Yeah I had to read it twice to figure it wasn’t years. And I use metric, so I know exactly how tall these two are but for some reason it didn’t click on the first read
I guess one upside of living in a country that uses both metric and imperial frequently is that these things tend to click pretty quickly. The lack of consistency is annoying, though.
Practice using metric. Not kidding, as an American it’s sometimes frustrating but most things are available in metric and there is a quite large convenience factor
Height in centimeters? I don’t entirely get this.
It’s what most of the world uses. Tea-ville and Yeehawland are the only two that typically use imperial still.

But no matter where you are you’d better add units!
Definitely, there’s no excuse for that.
Most of LondonThe UK uses Miles Per Hour for speed limits. That’s just the biggest example off the top of my head. Your assertion is inaccurate.Edit: A weird thing to downvote but ok. It’s more than just London, it’s the whole UK.
Didn’t downvote you but I’m guessing that’s covered by “Tea-ville” which could be why.
I’m in yeehawland and I loved the nicknames
That was not me.
What was not you?

Yeah, it’s in centimeters. 158 cm is 0.000853132 and 188 is 0.00101512 in nautical miles, if that helps any.

Sometimes, that 0.00328084th of a football field makes all the difference in the world…

It would be easier if it was 1.88 and 1.56 :)
It doesn’t help that they didn’t state their units.

It’s nothing. Without a unit those are just numbers. A can of coke isn’t 12, it’s 12floz.
Or so my metric companions don’t shit themselves in their panic-induced rage at the sight of imperial units, a coke can isn’t 355, it’s 355mL.
No, in feet, they’re actually giants.

I can tolerate distances in metric, but I draw the line at personal measurements!
5 cm is perfectly adequate according to my wife
millimeters, they are Irish
