[USMA:30118] realtors using square feet world-wide

[MightyChimp]

Can anyone verify if some or part of this statment is true?  What units are property sold in world-wide?     Euric     IThe following is in reference to estate agents, letting agents etc dropping "square metres" from official documents and using sq ft exclusively. In the UK they started using sq m a few years back but now they've stopped. Although newer properties might use sq m and then translate it from foreign into English, its also true to remind folk that the vast majority of properties in the UK pre-date this and are as such imperial only. I cannot imagine them knocking down Edwardian listed or protected buildings for example just so someone, at some point, can say the word "metre" so that your sort can have a tizzy fit. Tony, Regarding your bullet-in-board of June 13th @ 12.46 a.m. quoting the United Kingdom of Ulster & Grand Breton 'Estates Gazette' of May 15th. "In real estate and building rentals at least, the sq. -/m is going the way of the stt.po. of 16 1/2' that older readers will remember from the back of school books. Folks simply do not talk in square metre'. They talk in square feet. Realtors do it. Owners and renters do it. Even qualified investment managers do so. So let's talk, and write, in sq.'." Tony, realtors do not use the sq. -/m in the U.K. for exactly the same reason that realtors throughout the world do not use the sq. -/m. The sq. -/m is unusable. All realtors, in all countries of the world, use the square foot, or something based on the square foot. Most Napoleon Emperor's Republic of Europe Weights & Measures are difficult, but not impossible, to use. But the sq. -/m is just impossible to use in superficial measure. The nere scheme descended into gobbledygook when it supposedly created its' NERE Superficial Measure.
