Ethnocentric Idiot of the Day: CNN’s Rick Sanchez asks tsunami expert Dr. Kurt Frankel to translate nine meters “into English.”
Fun Fact: Liberia, Burma, and the US are the only three countries which have yet to adopt the metric system (otherwise known as the International System of Units) as their primary measurement system.
I always use imperial for roleplaying purposes though. “You still can take your 1 meter and 52cm step” doesn’t really keep the suspend of disbelief going.
