Why didnt they use ft for approximate measurement in this case? /Im not American btw
I hate when people use football fields as units of measurement.
It's done for a visual aid because feet or meters don't really help people picture things.Yeah, not to the same extent at least.
it's true, we measured the recent flood in new york with olympic swimming poolsThis one irks me a lot. I know it's meant as a visual aid to help people picture it, but how many people who aren't Olympic swimmers actually know the approximate size of an Olympic swimming pool off the top of their heads?
