Reply to comment by marmorset in TIL about Saint-Malo, Brittany. This city on the French coast has some of the highest tides in Europe, rising as high as 40 feet during parts of the year, and the water withdrawing hundreds of yards. A sea wall, built in the 17th century, protects the city from the tides. by marmorset

I'd understand if they put both metric and imperial in the english version, but why only feet? Altough there are a surprising number of translations (at the very bottom of the page), there are a massive amount of people that have english as a second language that don't use or understand the imperial system.
