I was once chatting with an American woman (in an online RPG) and she asked for my height; I answered in centimeters. She was confused and asked what that was. I explained that it was a unit of measurement (meters divided by 100), and she then asked me to give the answer the "right" way—in American inches. I laughed and said I’d calculate it; I gave the answer quickly, and she was impressed. She wondered how I’d calculated it so fast if I wasn't familiar with American inches. I explained that in Brazil, we use inches to express screen sizes, citing TVs as an example. She burst out laughing and said, "So, how many TVs did you use to measure yourself?" LOL
