โ ๏ธ Common Conversion Mistakes
People mess this up constantly. Here's how to avoid looking stupid:

- Don't use 2.54 for feet. 2.54cm is one inch, not one foot. For feet, use 30.48cm.
- Don't round too early. If you round 184cm to 180cm first, you get 5.9 feet instead of 6.04. Do the full calculation.
- Don't trust "quick" apps that use rough estimates. Some use 30cm per foot. That's wrong. The real number is 30.48.
