I’ve learned about them in school, but I’ve never heard anyone say something is 8 decameters long or anything like that. I’m an American.

    Thinking how I always order deli meat in units of 100 grams, feels dumb we don’t do that in Canada too

      Yeah I don’t think it’s very common elsewhere. Right over the border with France they were already saying “200 grams de jambon”.

      But I think it’s convenient. Small number make brain hurt less, brain no need to think.
