And deci. What's wrong base 10? Why aren't you touching your decilitres.

It’s not the measurement system’s fault people like to fall down two notches and use hundreds of milliliters instead. The same applies to decimeters. Most people use meters and centimeters for some reason.

At least in Sweden, decimeter and deciliter are very commonly used. They are rather convenient units of measurement.

Those actually originated in Germany but so did Danes, so potato/tomahto 🤷

They ARE quite lovely horses, though 😉

I wish I was that knowledgeable lol, but no. It's a joke about the number one downside of owning a great Dane: everyone and their mom commenting about their size by saying "that's not a dog, it's a horse!" 😁
