I don't believe the Russians use inches, and I know for a fact that we don't, so I reckon the authors convert everything to inches so as to keep Americans in the 1950s, their heyday.For the rest of the world, 8 inches is about 200mms, maybe 180mms.8 English king's thumbs, between knuckle1 and 2. Seriously, the USA is still paying homage to Great Britain.

Typical flawed poll, too small a sample and unknown range of participants.Reminds me of a newspaper poll on politics, with the paper owned by a right wing businessman, the reporter rang 100 people in a wealthy suburb and called his results telling of what the populace was thinking.Critical thinking is needed always, I learnt that at a Catholic school where they told me Jesus flew through the air in a vessel 33 cubits long.Show me the flight plan.

No ! Miss C. No. Surely not a set up ???Leaving fresh, wet paint next to a piece of art ? AND a brush ?And it was GREEN paint, the near universal colour of GO, GO, GO !I'm surprised the added green strokes didn't spell 'LOL'.
Was my first thought.
Then ... maybe the 'artist' paid them two to do that 'accidentally'.
Then, maybe the cleaner cleaning, smudging and then touching up that artwork at the Louvre was a set up too !

Do I have to live in the same small suburb in the same small town, to know what the author means when they write UX ?A nice UX touch.Acronyms ! Love them FFS, but know your audience, RTR.

More like 'What the NECK !'
Metres is spelt metres.A meter is the device that measures things, like an electric meter or a speedometer, when you write 8 meters 98% of the world thinks of 8 electric power meters in a row.Also maybe you shouldn't cater for the dumbest kid in the class, nearly everyone in the world knows what a metre is, pandering to slow thinking people who are unable to move on from the imperial system of measurements (which includes inches, feet, yards, chains, furlongs, fathoms, leagues and miles) ... a system based on an English king's body parts, by the way ... is keeping that dumb kid locked in the past.It is 2022 in a number of weeks, let's support the stupid and MAKE them use metric.They will thank us when they realise how stupid they used to look.

Pounds are what the British use as currency.Where as 192/195 countries use the metric system for things like weight, distance, speed and power.Any chance you guys could join the 21st century ?After all, it is 2022 in a few months.

You have to wonder about the USA, not just their weird dollar based politics, dollar based health care, electing absolute stupid people to president, racial inequality, easy access to weapons of instant death, and leagues of uncared for homeless people ... but also their determination to cling to the imperial measurement system, a system based on an English king's body parts, no less.And even when they state the metric equivalent for readers in the other 194 countries in the world, they spell the word metre incorrectly.Stay measuring things in a difficult way if you want, but please, stop misspelling our words.Theatre, centre, metre, et cetera.And if you are going to pronounce French words the French way, as with herb, do so for hospital as well.Loved your 50s and 60s cars, you used to do things so well.

All I see is young boys' penises with arms, wearing hula skirts.
But I may need help.
I am sure penises is spelt penii, which reminds me of octopi, which these monstrous pastry and meat concoctions also resemble.
Ha, I said con-COC-tions !

While the rest of us adopted the obviously better Celsius scale which has zero for freezing and 100 for boiling.Oh, and metric, we all went metric, which is to imperial as decimal is to pounds shillings and pence, i.e. a thousand fold easier to use.So ... you have us fellas here in the rest of the world using modern, simple scales and measures, and then you have the USA and it's affiliates using cumbersome scales and measures and a health system based on money rather than people.We all keep hinting but you ain't listening.
