US: use inches and feet.
International: use centimeter and meter.
Tips
- Avoid abbreviating “meter,” “minute,” or “mile,” as these can all be easily be confused by users and screen readers alike.
- Televisions are described in inches, even in countries that use the metric system.
Examples
- 7 ft., 6 in
- 32-inch HDTV
- 20 cm
- 2 meters
- 2 minutes
- 2 miles
