Comment on how do you slice it??

  It’s more of a journalist thing. They take the words out of your mouth to reach their own conclusion fast and deliver an answer that’ll fit inside the allocated screen time.

  “When you heard that people use things instead of measurements to explain the size of other things, exactly how shocking was it to you?”

      Yeah sorry, based on assumption. Because the US (plus a few tiny islands) refuses to switch to metric even though imperial is obsolete and complicated. It’s also usual practice in the US to use weird things for measurements. Cars, dishwashers, etc.

      So in this case it was a wrong assumption on my part.

      I’m deeply sorry.
