Mathematical illiterate journalists
Staff
#2
long ago they used to give the actual measure, litres, square KM etc and the use an example as you have stated to illustrate the size.

I guess now they have just skipped the original value in favour of the reference value... I don't think it suggests illiteracy though as they need to know the actual value to come up with a correct value for elephants or swimming pools.

But makes me wonder if they had a conversion calculator app programed for them, cubic meters to olympic swimming pools etc
The world would be a perfect place, if it wasn't for the humans.
