In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.
Don’t you guys use decimeters?
Rarely
Only in informal communication. Medical software and official documents (like you ID card) usually use cm.
True, I didn’t think about that.
That makes a lot more sense to a 'Murican like me coming from imperial.
Feel free to say it any way you like, it makes no difference:
- 1.58 meters
- 158 centimeters
- 1 meter 58 centimeters
It’s all the exact same thing, nobody will bat an eye.
except it would be 1,58 meters
That’s also quiet common, especially in engineering, which doesn’t use CM.
