        I feel like this isn’t something about not using metric measurements but rather something to help visualisation. I’m all for using metric but it’s still nice to have something to attach to the number. Especially for bigger numbers.

        Even in countries/places that use metric, i’ve seen comparisons like this like (x meters = 1 footbal stadium) and so on.
