Everything about Yardstick totally explained
A
yardstick is a tool used to physically
measure lengths of up to a
yard (0.9144 metres or three
feet).
Most yardsticks are flat wooden boards with markings at regular intervals.
In countries in which the metric system was adopted to replace the Imperial system (such as
Canada), yardsticks bearing
imperial units markings on one side (three feet with
inch and fractional inch) and
metric units on the other (one
meter with
centimeter and
millimeter) are common, and are sometimes referred to as "metre-sticks".
Yardsticks may be used as pointing devices for posters and projections.
The term "yardstick" is also used
metaphorically in reference to anything which serves as a test or
standard of measurement, comparison or judgment (also see
benchmark and
litmus test).
