Okay, so "confusing" isn't the right word. What is? It happened to me the 
other day, when one of my coworkers, talking about a previous job, told me 
that the yarn was moving at 75 meters per minute. I couldn't visualize that, 
so I converted it into meters per second, while he kept on talking, and I 
lost what he said.
