2002-02-17 An obvious conversion of 70 ha. It is unfortunate, that a reader of this article would not realise that Romanians don't know what an acre is. And, if someone were to chose a plot of land based on acres, it would not be 177, but something that would end in a zero, like 200 acres, or even 150 acres. But, not 177 acres. Those who use FFU, want it "user friendly", and 177 is not user friendly.
