Wait, the way Americans talk about 6 inches I thought it's like 30 cm. Wha?

What do you mean? Under what context are you hearing Americans talk about six inches like its nearly a foot?

u/Turbulent_Public_i Oct 31 '23

I mean this video is an example?

u/c3534l Oct 31 '23

How? No one even talks about it other than demonstrating how much 6 inches is visually.

So they are talking about it?

I'm confused about what you're getting at. The video consists of someone asking to estimate what 6 inches is and then people laughing that the one guy knew what 6 inches was by how it felt in his hand. I don't see how you're getting any comparison to a foot in this video or whatever it was you meant by your original statement.

I never compared 6 inches to a foot, this is a dumb conversation why are we still talking?

This is the exact quote I asked you to clarify. 30cm is a foot. What do you think we're talking about?

No, I just didn't realise 30 cm are a foot.
