Doesn't understand rotation of an object. Drives a cubic ton of metal on wheels in the streets.
My only thought as to why this could occur is that either the person is intoxicated or has some sort of cognitive issue like dementia OR that it was deliberately done as a sketch to make a viral video. The former are scary to think about. I can understand a "normal" person making this mistake once or twice, but the fact that it's continuous and repeated would lead toward impairment.
I immediately thought this is a person on opiates.
Source: saw my mother do this when I was young.
I'm really sorry to hear :(
Appreciate it but luckily it was like 30 years ago.
What’s a cubic ton?
Is that like making the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs?
It's a poor translation on my part.
Cubic tonne of metal would probably make more sense. But there is nothing cubic really in a car so I don't know why I choose this wording.
As far as I know an heavy car is close to 1000Kg which is a Tonne in the metric system.
Cubic is a measure of volume, not mass.
Cubic isn't a measure at all, it's a shape.
I don't think I said it was a mass.
I meant cubic as in cube shaped?
Super pedantic edit:
Now that I think about it cubic isn't really a measure of volume :
"cubic" on its own is not a measure of volume. It is an adjective that describes something related to a cube or three-dimensional space, but it requires a unit of length to provide a meaningful measure of volume.
A cubic metre of water weighs a tonne.
If fresh water, at sea level, under certain barometric conditions and a temperature of 4 degrees, at the equator.
I'm just noticing that metre is the correct spelling in English.
Isn't "meter" the commonly used translation?
I realize it must not be commonly used anyway with the imperial system being used in the US.
“Meter" and "metre" are both correct spellings of the word that refers to a unit of measurement in the metric system:
"Meter" is the preferred spelling in American English, while "metre" is preferred in British English and other forms of English outside the United States.
What’s your point?
His point is that you have it backwards:
"Metre" is the preferred spelling in British English, while "meter" is preferred in American English and other forms of English outside the UK.
Who’s point?
Buddy, if you can't follow a thread, there's probably no one here who can help you.
Metre is the standard spelling of the metric unit for length in nearly all English-speaking nations, the exceptions being the United Statesand the Philippines which use meter.
Also India, Canada, and Australia
Not sure where your information is from, but in Australia I see “metre” way more often than “meter”. Weird how your stat exactly matched Canada as well.
British English is the correct form, but American culture seeps into every facet of the world’s culture.
I know Canadian friends who spell colour and honour without the ‘u.’
Some guy who uses he/him pronouns. Drag isn't sure who that would be
Drag on, drag.
Yknow we could just be seeing an extreme bout of dyslexia in a tired person.
I don't like your new year resolution...
Yall never worked in trades and saw the group dyslexic figure east was west, north was south, write shit backwards until the coffee got to his brain and things reverted to normal/reality. Can't even argue with them because they make rational sounding statements that are half batshit, but, they are 100 percent sure on until they get to be old dyslexics and recognize the tells from what others are saying.
