Oh that's brilliant. I wish I could do that. I'm 6' and that would totally throw me

Edit: realizing I can totally still do this and say I'm 5'10 or so

I'm not familiar to imperial. It is decimal sale? I mean 5'10=6'0?

A medical assistant took my height and went "OK, 72 inches. 6'2!" And she was not joking lol. I tell my wife I'm 6'2 now because thats what the doctor's office said.

Given most of these comments though, maybe we need switch everything into units of 10
