That is one of the many many ways someone gets shot in American schools.
6'2"
Dividing by 12 isn't that difficult
It is if you are in an American public schools. I did not learn how to divide until I was in 3rd grade.
How much is that in bananas?
I just wish people would step up to a bigger scale when it's needed or to a smaller scale for the same reason. I hate seeing big massive boats measured in thousands upon thousands of centimeters instead of just using meters or feet, and it's annoying when people say their height in hundreds of millimeters.
Or when knife-blade thickness gets measured in hundredths of decimal inches or weird fractional measurements instead of just using millimeters since it's a smaller unit.
I hear americans measure tire thread depth in 32ths of an inch?? I mean it's nice that you're using powers of two but huh?
Yeah, I never heard anyone tell their height in centimetres. It's always like "I'm 1 metre 71" or so.
In my language 100 is just tree letters so most of the people just say 170 insteand of meter 70 because its shorter
IDK about english-speaking places, but in Hebrew we'd say "meter 70". I never thought about whether this is strictly grammatical in Hebrew, but by the descriptive approach I guess it must be because it's commonly used.
Edit: but it doesn't really work when you want to write it as a number so you'd have to write either 1.70m or 170 cm (if you prefer 1m 70cm that's fine but it's two numbers)
I also don't really know about English-speaking places, in writing we also go for 1,70 m over here

Don't disturbe the enemy when it is making a mistake.
All these comments, and I'm wondering who would ask someone about their height like this...it's pretty easy to estimate someone's height just by observation.
Eh, I've seen it as a smalltalk topic, to just want to know what the height is precisely, especially when someone is particularly tall.
