    So the US has no influence on the internet or social media? In denial much?

    Realize here my argument is that the US is some exceptional example of a country, the literal definition of exceptionalism, but there is enough influence for the general internet population to understand what a foot is. Just like how I know what a stone is without the UK being some exceptional utopia. If someone says they weight 12 stone I convert in my head and go about my day.

    But hey. this all started when someone said 15m2 was larger than a parking spot. I said no and showed my work. The units I used were irrelevant. This whole tangent is your own pedantry.

    EDIT: For those curious, Mr_Blott deleted his reply that called my comment on the US having an influence on the internet US exceptionalism, and that should have been lost in the migration.
