JohnInKansas BS: A new unit of measure. (98* d) RE: BS: A new unit of measure. 21 Mar 14


The units in which you measure something make little difference as long as you use them correctly, and incorrect or inaccurate usage accounts for much falsity, especially in advertising.

A TV commercial running in my area recently (and very frequently) claims that a particular business is conveniently located "only 6 minutes east of Wichita at 960 miles per hour."

Being in the area recently, I "clocked" the distance and found that the ad is "off by 4.8 seconds." I'm not sure whether to be astonished that they got that close, or annoyed by the error.
