Well, I've learned something else from this forum. I thought it might be Canadian humor or another typo. So what would it have been if he really meant six thousand meters? |

American numeric notation uses a decimal point to separate integers from fractional portions but other parts of the world use a comma or other symbol. He was saying six and 96 thousandths, not six thousand ninety-six meters.
I first encountered this while studying German at the Defense Language Institute. |

I'm sure Marwayne meant 17 feet, not 17 inches. Even in Canada they're not that small ![]() |

No the 20' includes the tongue, the living space is only 17'.

If the 183G is 20', does that mean I need to call it 24' to include the length of the tongue?
Thanks! |
