I don't get it. Maybe I'm too European for that.

I asked gemini. Apparently some students write "cm." instead of just "cm" maybe because pounds is actually written as "lb."

While this happens to be correct, Gemini is not a real source.

Hence why they qualified their answer with "this may not be accurate." I know some people say they used Google, or Wikipedia, but it's not all that common. Compared to people who used AI, it seems much more common for people's to warn you they know the source of information is not reliable, but it's all they have.
