xkcd #3065: Square Units (xkcd.com)

The biggest I've seen in a published source in the wild is an 80-fold error in a reported distance, which I think came from a series of at least three unit conversions and area/length misinterpretations.

My medicine is fighting misinformation, guess what the source of that is here?

I'm not doing this for you, you've shown yourself beyond saving.

I'm doing this for the poor person who read your first comment, said, 'yeah that sounds correct' and gave you an up tick.

My they, and others who stumbled upon it, read through our dialogue here and realize one of us has logic, and the other has "go take your meds".

Nice to see you fall back on the person you're talking with is in need of medication, rather than considering they've made a point you should consider.

I wonder if it's projection, but I shouldn't consider malice when you've repeatedly shown me you're probably just stupid.
