I mean, you're free to read the comments yourself, but if memory serves, they use decimals. Of course, with the natural logic of the metric system, it's exceedingly easy to convert to centimeters. I just thought it was weird to be so adamant that no one would ever give their height in meters.

Stone isn't a measurement in America, it's inorganic material. The next-heighest commonly known weight is a ton, or 2000 lbs. Not very helpful.

Except numerous people in this thread say they and people they know give their height in meters. So I guess it's not really never then, huh? Just saying, try not to be so absolute about something so inabsolute.

No, we give our weight in pounds instead of ounces because weight is one of those things that doesn't really need to be exact and will change by a couple dozen ounces or so based on the time of day and what you've eaten.

That doesn't answer my question at all, but thanks for your input!

Because they didn't write an article, they're just critiquing one.

Never? Why never?

To be at least equally precise but only slightly more pedantic, √5248.
