30:24

yeah it's stubble you mean when there's

30:25

a little bit of hair

30:27

on your face still if you shaved a few

30:29

days ago but it grows back a little yeah

30:32

i have a short beard i would say yeah um

30:37

yeah

30:37

in america captain t asked do you use

30:40

feet or centimeters to measure height

30:44

we in america use feet and inches

30:52

now let's see how many i'm gonna i'm

30:53

gonna look this up here because so one

30:57

okay

30:58

is about three

31:00

feet

31:02

um and then an inch is supposed to be

31:04

around this size of your thumb granted

31:07

it's not very specific because

31:09

everybody has different size hands but

31:11

yeah a centimeter i think is about two

31:14

or sorry an inch is about two

31:17

centimeters

31:18

it's not exact but yeah

31:21

yeah

31:22

so okay so when we're talking about

31:25

oh

31:26

oh yes double yes

31:28

okay uh so back to weight so there are

31:32

people that are thin

31:34

people that are average weight

31:36

and then people that are fat or bigger

31:39

some people like to use the word fat and

31:42

some people don't like when people use

31:44

that word so when in doubt

31:48

and maybe bigger is

31:50

nicer yeah it's more polite

31:52

um yeah but there are also a lot of

31:55

people that say

31:56

that they prefer the word fat

31:58

so yeah and then so we also have um so

32:02

we have average um weight here so if

32:05

thin average weight or fat or bigger um

32:09

here we just have tall and short for

32:11

height you could also think of how you

32:13

would say so we have average weight

32:17

how would you call something in between

32:19

tall and short

32:21

can you write that in the comments

32:23

you're just um

32:25

you know

32:26

taking the the information that's

32:29

already on the screen there see if you

32:30

can put those two together

32:33

how would you call someone who's not

32:34

quite tall

32:36

not quite short they're in between

32:43

good yeah we have the question from

32:44

sylvia can we say skinny too

32:46

good yeah so we have medium height

32:48

that's what i was thinking yeah medium

32:50

height or um

32:52

average height yeah with the average

32:53

height okay yeah

32:55

average or medium height perfect good

32:57

yeah and then sylvia with skinny

33:00

that's kind of like with fat and bigger

33:03

33:05

don't like to be called skinny

33:08

they would rather
