That sounds bad if you've ever watched/read Death Note.
It just seems like it's so much bigger when you use fairly high numbers. I remember seeing shoe sizes once as well and I think mine was in the 30s while it's either a 6 or 6 and a half for US sizes.
I don't get why, in our globalised world, they don't invent a standard measurement for clothing. Not to necessarily replace the current measurements (because so many people would faff about "hurrrr it's our national measurement, we so prowduvit rahrahrah") but as an added number. Then I wouldn't have to keep in mind that I'm a 44 in France, a 9.5 in the UK and a 10 in Canada. There would be a nice little international number that would be standardised throughout the world.
Speaking of measurements, why the devil did you Americans invent a different gallon and pint, etc, to the Brits ? Can you not handle your drinks ?
That said, I think everyone should just go metric and call it a day *so brave*
