:::A regular football field and an American football field is almost the same size and a yard is close to a meter. I'm pretty sure than 90% of those coming here did understand the analogy in this comic, and the other 10% was probably from the US ;-D --[[User:Kynde|Kynde]] ([[User talk:Kynde|talk]]) 10:09, 11 August 2019 (UTC) | :::A regular football field and an American football field is almost the same size and a yard is close to a meter.

::::To be clear, as a North American, I only use and approve of the name "soccer" because it's simpler for differentiating from what we call football, soccer clearly SHOULD be called football, it primarily uses the feet, LOL! Like I just said a few days ago on a Facebook post, the rest of the world should call American Football "soccer", just to complete the confusion, LOL! Anyways, thus I'm using the word soccer vs. football here: I THINK a soccer field is quite a bit bigger than a football field, at least they look MASSIVE when I see televised games (like the World Cup). In less professional situations - like if me and my friends went to play an informal game - yes, we'd use the same field. American Football is 100 yards long (50 per side), Canadian Football is 110 (55 per side). So, mentally divide a soccer field ("football pitch") into 100 parts to get a yard. :) So dinosaurs are 5/100ths of a pitch.

He wouldn't touch the imperial system with a 3.048 meter pole [[User:Whereisspike|Whereisspike]] ([[User talk:Whereisspike|talk]]) 17:21, 12 August 2019 (UTC) | He wouldn't touch the imperial system with a 3.048 meter pole [[User:Whereisspike|Whereisspike]] ([[User talk:Whereisspike|talk]]) 17:21, 12 August 2019 (UTC) | ||
:Seems to make more sense to use imperial about this comic that talks in imperial measurements. Well, a mix. :) "Yards" ARE ubiquitous and thoroughly entwined with football.
