Because saying “A square 14m x 14m” is too confusing somehow… I hate when they do it for huge surfaces though, like for forest fires as people don’t comprehend big numbers like “100 000 football fields”, but they sure can understand that 100km is a long distance so a 100km x 100km square is fucking huge.
I use three monitors and could use a fourth one (ultra wide) for some specific tasks, meanwhile my colleague that does the same job is working from a 13" laptop screen sitting on a cushion at her coffee table…
