We strictly use feet and inches, and then yards if referring to a more “broad” range. So you can very safely assume something is in feet and inches if its just two numbers stuck together.
I feel like i could very easily get confused with metric if i’m not running a consistent rule for default units. Seems like an easy way to get a random x10 error in there to me.

As you pointed out previously, nobody uses decimeters, so x10 errors are not that common.

i’m just gonna say that the joke here is that it was a 10x error.
