Your argument is akin to thinking we prefer pounds in cooking because a hamburger is called a quarter pounder. We don’t measure steaks in pounds, it’s that hamburger’s name.
I don’t know any Fins, but yknow, I do know a lot of Estonians, was confidently correct I might have an idea for a reason. You just sound like you’re backpedalling now.
You were confident you were correct but you weren’t. Happens, but that’s why this whole chain happened. You thought we measure in inches, we don’t. For some things it’s mm strictly (some design papers for example) and with some things it alternates depending on the scale since conversions are so piss easy in metric system. And of course can depend on scale. Some are measured in meters because big, some are mm because small. You thought we use fahrenheit in cooking, we don’t. Your measurements just aren’t something we use. I’m not saying they’re necessarily worse for the same job (I just think that) but they’re definitely not better and especially not in some way we’d prefer them to normal measurements.
Yeah so I already proved my point. Btw, the internet is just awash in French chefs casually using Farenheit like it’s their native measure. Thanks though, you made me confirm what i thought prior.
Kakkosneloseksi tai pattingiksi kutsutaan rakennustyömailla yleisesti käytettävää 50 × 100 lankkua[2]. Nimitys johtuu lankun likimääräisistä tuumamitoista, 2 × 4 tuumaa
Teollinen sahatavara toki tuotetaan Suomessa nykyään kaikki millimetrimitassa
All the measurements there are in mm. “Kakkosnelonen” is named so because it used to be “approx. two by four inches”. It’s measured in mm though, same as basically all planks and shit (see all the other planks on that page). There’s also the official guidelines on how things are measured in building and what units to use, such as RT 02-11036. And of course at the actual job sites, people use mm, cm and meters.
You’re trying hard to convince that in my field of work we use your measurements even though we just use normal measurements. So mostly mm, unless someone is sloppy an uses cm hah. Or when it’s not as accurate, meters. Why you would think we would opt to use anything else, I don’t know. Maybe you’re just so familiar with them that you’d think we are too and we would like those measurements? No idea.

I’m intrigued by this. You’re a French cook speaking French and they’re just dropping measurements in Fahrenheit? That seems wild. Link some
Btw it still baffles me. Why would you think we’d use Fahrenheit in metric countries? Why would we in Finland use Fahrenheit for cooking (or for anything else)? It makes no sense to me.
You don’t think the carpenters we have in our construction yards are actual carpenters??
over your bullshit
It’s a sourced citation about the “two by four”. Or maybe you meant the guidelines. I know they sometimes suck but I wouldn’t call them bullshit. A lot of them are made by experienced builders and construction people.
Also no links from you and you didn’t even tell me why you’d think we’d prefer to use inches or fahrenheits. Disappointed. You insisting we do something we don’t is kinda lost cause for you, but your argument on why you’d think someone would prefer inches to mm etc or especially fahrenheit to celsius might be interesting. And something you can actually argue.
No, you’re wrong, you were being an ass. I proved it, be quiet.

Not sure what point you think you proved. You can even check here:

E: I was thinking “hey, we measure shoe size in inches, don’t we? He has got us there!” but turns out it’s some French unit called “Paris point” that’s 2/3cm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoe_size#Continental_Europe
Yeah ill take what the actual carpenter said, over your bullshit.

You’re so desperate I can’t take you seriously, you’re arguing completely irrelevant angles, countering points you yourself imagine I made.
