Gregory's Server@geekysteven I am annoyed by their tendency to measure areas in football fields. And as a European I don't even know if they mean football or the American variant, which is not played with a ball or feet.

@VPSuuronen @geekysteven Also, olympic-size swimming pool (os sp) as a unit of volume.
According to NIST, one os sp is 1000 m3, which translates to an 8 lane (20 m) olympic length (50 m) pool with a depth of 1 m.
However, FINA (Fédération Internationale de Natation, now known as World Aquatics) defines the official os sp being 50 m x 25 m (10 lanes) with a minimum depth of 2 m which is 2500 m3; recommended depth is 3 m which comes to an os sp of 3750 m3.
