    You could have also said “I think you reversed that. It’s a few inches longer than a yard” instead of being a dickhead. Especially when the point of the comment is about absolute difference, where which is larger does not factor.

    Yes, I meant to say “a meter is a few inches more than a yard”

    See how I didn’t even realize that I reversed it because you were so bad at communicating it?

    See how it being more or less didn’t actually matter to the point I was making in my original comment? Whether it was a few inches more or less doesn’t actually matter to the point of the comment. The point is that they are close enough to give an approximate equivalent when speaking about visually approximating a distance?

    Are you the person that screams at the barista for giving you a Large Americano and a Small Latte when you asked for a Small Americano and a Large latte? Do you tell “oh my God you made my drink wrong!” Or do you calmly say “hi, I think you reversed the size of the drinks. My friend wanted a large latte.”
