They probably just marked it down as “two feet”.

I went to a routine podiatry appointment (diabetic foot care) in Sparta TN 
today. Sparta has a population of just over 5000 people and it's the county 
seat of White County, in Middle Tennessee.

When asked for my height and weight I gave them in meters and kilograms and 
they were recorded without a flinch. Now, I cannot say that the staff didn't 
convert those values later, but at least they didn't act like they've never 
heard of metric units or thought that using them was strange. Not bad for a 
small, country town.
