SandmanAs in, you persist in arguing that you are the local expert in the proper usage of English?

Here is a long list of articles through which you persisted with the error.
No, there is a list of posts that contained no information that would have me believe I made an error, so I kept making the error, not "persisted". Learn to use words correctly.
I find it very hard to believe that you don't know that dividing by 10 is a good approximation i.e. 7000 sq mtrs. --Eric StevensSandman
The articles suggest that yor failure to recognise your error arose from your usual determination to not recognise the possibility of error on your part.
A blatant lie - I *always* admit to my mistakes.Eric Stevens

Colonial was slightly bugger than B&H, but B&H was also very tiny.
"bugger"???"...B&H was also very tiny."???None of that response makes any sense at all.Savageduck[First warning that not all was well]Sandman
Not at all. Best Buy is also a huge store, so me referring to Best Buy here is perfectly logical. So if you exchange "B&H" with "Best Buy" Savageduck response is still perfectly valid.
"Best Buy was also very tiny" Savageduck: "None of that response makes any sense at all" Sandman: "Their camera section was tiny"
I.e. there is nothing in Savageduck's reply that would have me realize that I wasn't typing Best Buy.Eric Stevens

It might help you give a reference point when people use words like, large, small, tiny, microscopic etc.
I'm quite interested in what Jonas considers to be a "big" store. B&H is a 70,000 square foot store. Something like 5,000 people a day shop at B&H. How would you fit them in a "tiny" store.Tony Cooper - Orlando FL[Second warning that, no matter what Jonas thought he was talking about, it could not have been the B&H store]Sandman
Not at all. I was talking about Best Buy, which is also a very large store, so Tony's reply made perfect sense in the context of Best Buy.
Also consider that the rest of the world uses the metric system, and "70,000 suare feet" isn't a good size reference for me either way.
