No. Every human likely encounters date sorting at some point. And feet and inches aren’t really any more human or natural than 4x5x2 dm or 40x50x20cm. Dividing by 10 isn’t more human either, but adding/removing zeroes or moving a decimal point is certainly easier for the human brain.
- systemvoltage 6y agoIs dm used widely wherever you’re located?
- alkonaut 6y agoIts a pretty clumsy measurement so perhaps not “frequently” but it’s widely used yes (Scandinavia). For example windows and doors are standardized in dm, so a typical window is a 11x13 and a door is 9x21. It’s going to have some other measurement in reality like 1120x1310mm but the dm measurement is still used to reference the rough size.
