    Saying 24.4c in a regular conversation is psychotic.

    Doing so is accurate, which many neurodivergent people lean toward, and generally don’t appreciate being called “psychotic”, FYI. Maybe tune that hyperbole —and no, “retarded” isn’t an acceptable alternative, either.

      Why stop at one decimal place then? If you want to be accurate you can probably add a few more on there. Rarely do we need even the single decimal point of accuracy though, and it adds two additional characters.
