    I was confused until I remembered that ’ is what Americans use to denote 0.305m. >_> y’all are odd.

      I’m not American, but screens are often measured in inches. I’ve never heard anyone mention a 22.90cm phone for example.

      And why would you use metres instead of centimetres? 0.305m is so confusing to imagine compared to 30cm.
