Hi In a Ford Motor Company's website, the length of a car says 9.8 Feet, I sent an email to them asking whether it represents 9 and 8/10ths feet or 9 feet and 8 inches. They sent a prompt response saying that they will consider it. We can never use decimals with feet, dozen, hours, years, etc. Attached is the Ford's response. Note : Thinkmobility is car company owned by Ford and they make electric vehicles. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

Dear Madan, Thank you for your interest in TH!NK. As you suspected, the period does represent a decimal place -- 9.8' is 9 and 8/10ths feet. You raise a good point. We will forward your email to the appropriate department for consideration. Keep checking our website www.thinkmobility.com for more information and updates, as they become available. Thanks again for your interest.
