1. yard 2. ounce 3. pint 4. centimeter 5. tablespoon 6. feet 7. cubic centimeters 8. bushel 9. fathoms 10. schosh How does #1 differ from #4, really? 6: should really be “foot,” hey?

Oops - my fault on the length/distance thing. I changed **labtrash** ’s questions up a bit. In my mind, distance is really long, length is kinda short. Hence, distance (not miles) and length (not inches.) All you nitpickers send me a new game, stat! 😃 ---

And of course, it doesn’t matter if they’re technically the same, if they generate different sorts of answers. While I could describe the distance to M31 in inches, or the length of a piece of string in lightyears, I wouldn’t. ---
