0 01b01font00I have a "yard-stick" that has metric markings on the other side. I have no idea where or how I got it; I assume most hardware stores would have one. It really comes in handy!02font02b00 0-

0 "he is 6 and 2 feet tall" - we don't say it like this. We say "six feet two tall" or (very often) "six foot two tall". In fact, we wouldn't normally bother to add "tall" at all: "How tall is your brother?" > "He's six foot two". 0-
