You know you have done a service when a million people watched your teaching and some of them understood it after many years of not totally getting it. Thanks for your contribution Dr. Dixon.

I remember my father trying to explain how to read a tale measure when I was just a young boy and he had me in tears and screaming at me what a dummy I was for not getting it, I’m in my 70’s now if he would have just explained it how this lady did I wouldn’t have felt like a idiot he made me out to be Oh well I survived they just didn’t have the patience to teach back then all my homework ended in yelling and tears ; Thank God for the internet and u tube you can learn many things from these channels.

Almost 22 here and as embarrassing as it is, I never got it at school and I was made to feel stupid when I asked, so here I am learning more in YouTube than I ever did in a classroom. Thank you so much lady I won’t feel intimidated by a tape measure ever again 🙏❤️

Thank you Dr. Dixon! That was truly the best explanation of a tape measure ever. I went to Home Depot today and the young lady asked me for my measurements for the project I wanted to do, and I felt bad that I couldn't tell her. So, me being a humble honest man I told her I did not know how to use a tape measurer and she recommended your video on Youtube! I said I was not going to die and not know how to use a tape measure. So, I came home and in twenty minutes I understood what I had been avoiding for over 35 years! I watched a couple of others that were difficult, disjointed and confusing. I came back and watched yours again and realized I really understood it better because of your break down! Thanx

[vannagomez]

29 years old and finally can read a tape measure!!!omggg thank you so much for this!!!! GOD BLESS U!

[chachinobambino]

As a 28 year old with no educational background you truly help me learn how to use a tape measure thank you

[simplyraw]

at 59 years old YOU just helped me where finally "light on" turned on with ease!! Now when I use another tape rule that doesn't have the fractions on it, I will no longer have to say 1" and 5 lines!! ( my measurements and cuts nonetheless were spot on lol ) Though now I won't sound so ignorant, nor have the laughing from those who heard! lol Thank You Kindly! I appreciate you. 😊

I have had several people try to teach me how to learn how to work a measuring tape and you did it in one day, I am 50 years old and you teaching me how to read a measuring tape will help me with all my projects and I don’t have to wait for someone to come and help me. Thank you 😊 🙏🏽

[alfiefallejo]

Just starting to learn this. Went from Nursing to carpentry. All the videos I looked at. This made the most sense. THANK YOU

[soniaserrato]

Likewise, at 50 years of age, this is the very first time I get this explained so plain and clear! I went to school in South America and didn't even learn how to read tape measures in the metric system, much less here in the imperial system!! Very well done, now I can even teach it to someone else :) Thank you!

[rosebud]

Thank You! You explain the ruler better than anybody I watched or know!
