For the metrically inclined:

40 inches = 1.016 meters

25 yards = 22.85 meters

40 yards = 36.576 meters

1 inches = 0.0254 meters or 2.54 centimeters

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

    Not having standardized decimal indicators in maths really took me for a ride.

      Is your existence just to complain about insignificant things in otherwise interesting content? Sounds miserable.

        Yeah that would sound miserable. Kinda didn’t complain tho just pointed it out bc I first read it as 1016m. See to complain I would need to explicitly say I am unhappy or that this would need to change. I just pointed out that due to me having a different understanding of decimal indication I was confused for a second.

        You know what would be miserable tho? Misinterpreting a comment and then jumping to a conclusion about another person’s happiness. Go out. Touch some grass. Think about why you so quickly came to such a negative conclusion. Get happy. ✌️

      Agreed! It’s confusing when most of the world uses “,” as a decimal indicated but some countries use “.” for that.
