TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE SPEED AND CAPACITY OF COMPUTERS, there is a very handy website that you can use to convert things like sizes, distances, measures and so on from one scale to another.

For instance, metric conversions such as kilometers to miles.  Or weight in pounds to kilograms.  But it isn’t limited to metrics.  They do all kinds of conversions.

For example, comparing clothing sizes.  These vary from country to country.  And with so much commerce being done online now, it is normal to be ordering things from anywhere in the world.

Take, for instance, a men’s sport coat size 44.  In the UK it is also called a 44, but in Continental Europe you will ask for a 54.

Shoes are even more complicated.  American men’s shoe size 10 is ordered as:
9 in Mexico
28 in Japan
44 in Europe
9½ in Australia and UK
45 in France.

 And so it goes.
Put this website in your Bookmarks because I can promise you that you’ll be glad to have it some day.
