Practical guide

Read measurements and technical terms naturally

Read measurements and technical terms naturally: a practical process, a clearly illustrated example and checks to use before the next live session.

A practical process

  1. State the number and its unit together.
  2. Explain which dimension is being measured before listing several values.
  3. Expand unfamiliar technical terms on first use and retain their exact meaning.

Worked example

Instead of “twenty by ten by five,” say “twenty centimetres wide, ten centimetres deep and five centimetres high,” using verified values. The longer wording prevents a buyer from assigning the right number to the wrong direction.

Before the next session

Use the current Aseacast product overview to check which parts of this workflow fit your setup.
