rbacon705 Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 I am in Australia so naturally I use Meters and Millimeters all the time, but my dad (who is Australian) prefers everything in Feet and Inches so when I am talking to him about the size of something I have to keep doing mental conversions all of the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that one is a bit messy. Pick a year, a country, and determine between land or water and you get something different. Truly a worthless measurement, historically.
