MODERATORS
In Germany, we usually express height in meters and centimeters, like 1 meter 58 or 1 meter 88.
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:
It's all the exact same thing, nobody will bat an eye.
except it would be 1,58 meters
Don't you guys use decimeters?
Rarely
That's also quiet common, especially in engineering, which doesn't use CM.
