Re: African high school rookie is quick to leave his mark, by Bob Duff, Jan. 20.

On the front page of the Windsor Star you gave Jonathon Nicola’s height and weight in U.S. units. Why did you not also give his height and weight in Canadian units?

You said he stands out in a crowd. Was that because he was short or tall? If it’s tall, is six-foot-nine about two metres, 2.5 metres? I was able to Google the conversion from U.S. to Canadian but why do you want your readers to have to do this?

It was in the 1970s that we changed over. When you do give measurements in Canadian, I am happy that you also give them in the old way because people over 90 years old still think in the old way.

Life is complicated enough without purposely making it more complicated.
