So how big is the Best Buy in the loop? Could it be about 6,500 square meters? Probably, I don't know. Can't say I'm good with approximating square footage by eye. For instance, Colonial is 15,000 square foot, which is 1,400 square meters, but I wouldn't have guessed. An empty room is easier to guess than a filled one as well.Tony CooperSandmanEric Stevens
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.
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.
I made some reference to someone's camera recently, and Popinjay went on a minor rant about me not looking up the camera before commenting. What's easier to look up than a conversion site to understand what 70,000 square feet is in his system of measurement?
So when I am talking about Best Buy, and someone questioning me calling it tiny and saying it's 70,000 square feet, then I read that as this person saying that Best Buy is 70,000 square feet, which is a perfectly believable figure, so why would I even convert it?
