“The thing you need to know about an oil tanker is that it’s really big. It’s about four soccer fields long”
Why do American writers do this
All this tells me is that oil tankers are really long
I know that oil tankers are long, and I kind of know what one football pitch looks like, but it’s kind of meaningless to say it’s four of them when all I know is “football pitches are long end to end”
“They weigh as much as a skyscraper”
HOW MUCH IS THAT!!! HOW MUCH DOES ONE WEIGH???? All that tells me is that an oil tanker is just really heavy, which is something I already know!!!
@yassie_j you can’t expect a country with a declining literacy rate to read and math at the same time
by the time zoomers have kids, each news article will have a video of the count from sesame street attached so he can go “one soccer field, ha ha ha, two soccer field, etc.”
