I get the point of metric, but doesn't a centimeter seem a little too small and a meter a little too big?

- lokedhs 4y agoThat's why there is the decimetre. For some reason I've noticed it's not that common here in Singapore, but back in Sweden where I grew up, it's used all the time.
- mytailorisrich 4y agoGlobally the decimetre is really only used for volumes via the cubic decimetre aka litre.
- lokedhs 4y agoThat's very weird, since it's such a useful unit. I've also noticed that the decilitre also seems to be underused outside of Sweden.
- arethuza 4y agoSimple answer - no. If pretty much all you've ever known is cm and m then they same as natural as anything else you grew up with.
