Non-Frequently Asked Questions About Stones to Hectograms
Questions nobody should ask - but someone did.
-
An 11-stone person weighing 699 etti sounds considerably more dramatic than 70 kilograms. Italian body-image culture, already sensitive to weight, would find three-digit etto weights psychologically unwelcome. This is precisely why no country uses hectograms for body weight: the numbers are too large for comfort.
-
Only if the British tourist wants to tell an Italian doctor their weight in a unit the doctor might recognize more quickly than stones. 'Peso circa 700 etti' is technically correct but would earn a puzzled look from any Italian physician, who would prefer to hear the weight in kilograms like every other patient in the EU.
